In F. S. Brereton's 'With Wolseley to Kumasi: A Tale of the First Ashanti War', readers are transported back to the late 19th century when British imperialism clashed with the Ashanti Empire in West Africa. Brereton's writing style is vivid, detailed, and fast-paced, making the reader feel as if they are right alongside the soldiers on their dangerous journey. The book provides a unique insight into the military tactics, political tensions, and cultural clashes of the time, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of colonial history. Brereton's descriptions of the African landscape and the Ashanti people are both respectful and intriguing, adding depth to the narrative. F. S. Brereton, a British author and historian, drew inspiration for this book from his own experiences serving in the military and his interest in colonial warfare. His background lends authenticity to the detailed descriptions of battles and strategy in 'With Wolseley to Kumasi'. Brereton's expertise in military history shines through in his accurate portrayal of the events that unfolded during the First Ashanti War. I recommend 'With Wolseley to Kumasi: A Tale of the First Ashanti War' to readers interested in military history, colonial conflicts, and adventure stories. Brereton's gripping narrative and historical accuracy make this book a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of war and imperialism in Africa.

Dick Stapleton tossed restlessly on his bamboo bed, till the rickety legs creaked ominously and the mosquito net waved to and fro, threatening to descend upon his head. The heat was stifling. Inside his room the thermometer stood at an unusual height, even for this Gold Coast country, where high readings are a common occurrence, and where hot nights are the rule rather than the exception. The windows of the house in which he slept, or vainly attempted to do so, were thrown wide open, but despite that fact, they admitted nothing but the deep and ever-recurring boom of the surf, which beats upon the sandy beach of the Fanti country without ceasing. Boom! Boom! The thunder of the waves seemed to shake even the land, while in his mind's eye Dick could see the spray rise high, and then fall back as white as milk, seething and foaming, to be swallowed by the next breaker as it curled its green crest on to the sand. Not a breath stirred on this sultry night. The leaves on the forest trees within a stone's-throw of the house made no movement. Nothing, in fact, appeared to have the energy for movement on this night save the myriad mosquitoes, which seemed to revel in the heat, and an occasional beast in the forest, whose piercing cry was wont at one time to startle our hero.
