Benin: The City of Blood is a historical account written by Reginald Bacon that chronicles the events of the British Punitive Expedition to Benin in 1897. The book provides a detailed description of the city of Benin, its culture, and the political climate leading up to the invasion. It also explores the brutal conflict between the British forces and the Benin Empire, which resulted in the looting and destruction of the city. Bacon's narrative is based on his personal experiences as a member of the British military and includes firsthand accounts of the battles, the negotiations, and the aftermath of the invasion. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in African history, colonialism, and the impact of imperialism on indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
