Defeat by Deceit:
How the Battle of Muizenberg was won
How did the British win the Battle of Muizenberg and take over the Cape Colony in 1795?
Not through sheer force, superior weaponry or more skillful fighting prowess.
They won largely by using disinformation, cunning and strategy. And they continued in the next century to conquer a huge swath of the African continent.
Had the Dutch, who controlled the colony until then, not fallen for the British misinformation they might well have won the war and ousted the British forces.
The full exciting true story is told in Defeat by Deceit.
