Focusing on the environmental challenges faced by German colonists in Southwest Africa, the book explores their futile attempts to transform arid landscapes into profitable settlements. It delves into the interplay between natural forces and the violent realities of colonization, revealing the often-overlooked impact of the environment on colonial ambitions.
