I'm now re-reading Peter Shankland's excellent book on the Lake Tanganyika campaign, having originally read a tatty old paperback copy that I bought second hand many years ago, the one with the action packed front cover art that really makes you want to wargame it.
The digital copy I'm reading now is far less dramatic, with a blurry photograph of Netta complete with Spicer Simpson semaphore signalling away like a deranged scarecrow, in a skirt obviously. It's a great book in either format and full of interesting anecdotes, useful details, contemporary photos and action reports, so well worth a look. His books on the Dardanelles E1 submarine operations and Malta Convoys are also excellent.
