Omschrijving

Benin: The City of Blood (1897) is a historical account written by Reginald Bacon about the British expedition to Benin City in present-day Nigeria in 1897. The book details the events leading up to the expedition, including the tensions between the British and the powerful Benin Empire, which was known for its rich culture and art. Bacon describes the brutal attack on the British expedition by the Benin army, which resulted in the deaths of several British soldiers and the destruction of the city. The book also explores the aftermath of the expedition, including the looting of Benin's treasures by the British and the impact it had on the people of Benin. Overall, Benin: The City of Blood provides a detailed and vivid account of a significant moment in the history of Nigeria and the relationship between Britain and its colonies in Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
