""The Martyrdom Of The Evangelical Missionaries In Cameroon 1914: Reports Of Eyewitnesses"" is a historical account of the brutal and tragic events that occurred in Cameroon in 1914, which led to the death of several evangelical missionaries. The book is written by W. Stark, who collected eyewitness reports and compiled them into this detailed and harrowing narrative.The book begins by setting the scene in Cameroon, a German colony at the time, where several evangelical missionaries from Britain and America had established a mission to spread Christianity. However, tensions were high between the Germans and the local population, who were not receptive to the missionaries' message.In August 1914, World War I broke out, and the Germans in Cameroon were cut off from their homeland. This led to a power vacuum, which was exploited by the local population, who launched a violent attack on the missionaries. The book describes in graphic detail the brutal and savage nature of the attack, which resulted in the deaths of several missionaries, including women and children.The eyewitness reports collected by Stark provide a firsthand account of the events that took place, and the book includes photographs and illustrations to further illustrate the tragedy. The book also explores the aftermath of the attack, including the response of the British and American governments, and the impact it had on the missionary movement in Cameroon.Overall, ""The Martyrdom Of The Evangelical Missionaries In Cameroon 1914: Reports Of Eyewitnesses"" is a powerful and moving account of a tragic event in history.
