Henry Brackenbury was a brilliant staff officer - one of the “Garnet Ring” that surrounded the famous General Sir Garnet Wolsey. This is a very serious and detailed two-volume account of the brief but bloody Ashanti campaign - containing a lot of background and logistics. The Ashanti War came about after the armies of the ambitious Ashanti Empire moved south, attacking coastal tribes in the Gold Coast under British protection. After naval forces had failed to deter them, a military expedition was mounted under Wolseley, including soldiers from the Rifle Brigade, the Black Watch and the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Garnet moved against the Ashanti early in 1874, twice defeated them, and occupied their capital Kumasi. In the wake of the defeat, other small tribes asserted their independence and eventually Britain, after restoring oirder, was compelled to add the Gold Coast to the dominions fo the British Empire. Losses in the war were an estimated 1,000 British and 2,000 Ashantis.

The Ashanti (Asante) War of 1873-74, reported on byfamous war correspondents such as Henry Morton Stanleyand G.A. Henty, was seen as a model campaign. It was wonat modest cost in expenditure and lives and wasinstrumental in the confident projection of Britishmilitary power across the Empire. It also made ahousehold name of Wolseley - Gilbert and Sullivan's `verymodel of a modern Major General'. Wolseley's previouslyunpublished campaign journal and correspondence proved arich and compelling account of the problems of Victoriancampaigning, as well as new insight into the complexcharacter of `our only General'.
