In the British Empire, destroying African villages was *literally* in the manual… ⬇️😮 #Callwell #BritishEmpire #history #violence

There are numerous references to the destruction of villages and food supplies; this is not an accident, since they were frequent resorts of British colonial soldiers and officials. Callwell also demonstrates a love of violence not atypical of his class and era. #ColonialViolence

"Unlike many of his brother officers, #Callwell took note of the circumstances and tactics of these small wars, and in 1868 published a monograph, which in 1896 became the book Small Wars: Their Principles and Practice." - William Pitch https://t.co/tbiCrDreeW

It’s quite shocking to read this British officer so casually advocating the wholesale destruction of homes, and what is in fact the introduction of starvation into an area supposedly under his care. #Callwell #SmallWars #ColonialViolence

Callwell was a prolific author on military subjects, & is best known for his book “Small Wars: Their Principle & Practice”, a guide to colonial soldiering. It is brutally revealing about the methods of the British Empire on the ground. 😧#Callwell #SmallWars #ColonialViolence

The reality was, of course, very different. Consider the work of Charles Callwell, a British soldier with much colonial experience, pictured here on the WWI Caucasus Front as a Major-General in 1916. #Callwell #SmallWars #ColonialViolence 🇹🇷🇷🇺
