Originally published in 1969, Gladstone and Kruger examines British
reactions to the Afrikaner nationalism. Beginning with the first
Anglo-Boer war of 1880-81, it examines the formulation of policy
after the British defeat at Majuba Hill. A that moment, the dangers
of a pan-Afrikaner revolt in the Transvaal, Orange Free State and
Cape Province seemed imminent, and the British presence in southern
Africa seemed very much at risk. Schreuder shows how the devolution
of metropolitan Imperial power on to local ministries conflicted
with the Whig concern for the preservation of British dominance and
prestige abroad and provides a commentary on the Liberal response
to the Irish problem.
