The Relief of Kumasi by Harold C.J. Biss is a historical account of the British expedition to rescue the Governor of the Gold Coast and other European hostages held captive by the Ashanti people in Kumasi, Ghana in 1896. The book details the events leading up to the expedition, including the Ashanti rebellion and the capture of the hostages, as well as the planning and execution of the rescue mission. Biss provides a vivid description of the harsh conditions faced by the British soldiers during their journey through the African jungle, and the fierce battles they fought against the Ashanti warriors. The book also explores the political and cultural context of the conflict, including the tensions between European powers in Africa and the impact of colonialism on the Ashanti people. Overall, The Relief of Kumasi is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in African history, colonialism, and military expeditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
