German Southwest Africa, what is now independent Namibia, in 1904 witnessed the beginning of a merciless colonial war in which the German Empire fought against insurgent Hereros and Namas. At the top of the people and fighting for their freedom stood Jakob Morenga, a former miner. Uwe Timm delivers a story in a clever montage of historical documents and fictitious records on in a grandiose historical novel.
