Chapters describe physical and human geography, political history (starting with Portuguese influence through to Arab rule, British and German interests, and native opposition), social and political conditions, and economy, with Treaty extracts in the Appendices. No authors are indicated, but it was a collective effort, with the series edited by George Walter Prothero, Director of the Historical Section, which had been established purposely by the Foreign Office. Histories were voluntarily contributed by experts, geography by Naval Intelligence Division staff, and economics by the Foreign Office War Trade Intelligence Department. The map is by the Geographical Section General Staff of the War Office: "General Map of German East Africa", GSGS No. 2814, War Office, July 1916. 80x78cm, 1/2M, bounded by Lake Victoria (N), the Swahili coast from Lamu to Pekavi with Zanzibar about midway (E), the border with Portuguese East Africa (S), and Lake Tanganyika (W). Features include railways, roads (mostly fit for light wheeled traffic), important tracks and routes, marshes, mission stations, and international boundaries.
