About The Book

Kirk Who First Learnt To Speak The Language During His Service With Somali Troops During The British Empire''S Failed Attempt In 19021904 To Wrest Control Of The Region From The Dervish State Under Muhammad Abdullah Hassan. His Unique Knowledge Of The Interior Of The Country And The Different Tribes Making Up The Population Meant That Kirk''S Insights Were Invaluable In Advancing Scholarly Knowledge In The West.
