Description

The Boer War of 1899-1902 was once an epic of heroism and bungling, cunning and barbarism with an bizarre cast of characters – including Churchill, Rhodes, Conan Doyle, Smuts, Kipling, Gandhi, Kruger and Kitchener. The war found out the ineptitude of the British military and all of a sudden exposed the corrupt underside of imperialism – Within the status quo of the primary concentration camps, the shooting of Boer prisoners-of-war and the embezzlement of military supplies by British officers. This acclaimed book provides an entire history of the Boer War – from the primary signs of unrest to the eventual peace. Within the process, it debunks a few of the myths which have grown up across the conflict and explores the deadly legacy it left for southern Africa.
