For almost 3 years the Canadian public was mesmerized by the war.
It affected trade, industry, transportation, fashion, discourse,
literature, graphics, and music. By the time the Anglo-Boer War
ended in May 1902, 7368 young soldiers and 16 nurses had sailed
from Canada for South Africa. About 270 died there, killed in
battle or disease. The author explains why men volunteered for
service in this distant conflict despite the rancorous pre-war
debate on the wisdom of Canadian participation. He examines the
difficulties of leading citizen soldiers and compares the differing
styles of leadership. He also reveals how the soldiers' experiences
in the field and the public's perceptions of the war altered
Canadian opinion, politics, and military development.
