The Boer War of 1899-1902 was an epic of heroism and bungling,
cunning and barbarism, with an extraordinary cast of characters -
including Churchill, Rhodes, Conan Doyle, Smuts, Kipling, Gandhi,
Kruger and Kitchener. The war revealed the ineptitude of the
British military and unexpectedly exposed the corrupt underside of
imperialism in the establishment of the first concentration camps,
the shooting of Boer prisoners-of-war and the embezzlement of
military supplies by British officers. This acclaimed book provides
a complete history of the Boer War - from the first signs of unrest
to the eventual peace. In the process, it debunks several of the
myths which have grown up around the conflict and explores the
deadly legacy it left for southern Africa.
