The war in South Africa (1899-1902) marked a turning point in
British military history, after the war many aspects of British
policy-making and military organisation were scrutinised. The first
part of this book focuses on these issues as they have been
represented by scholars in the light of recent works. The bias
towards work on the failures of the British is here redressed with
the inclusion of studies of the roles of the Boers, Afrikaaners and
Zulus by four South African historians. The social and cultural
dimensions of the war as viewed from the South African perspective
is also analyzed. The final section of the book concentrates on how
the conflict was presented to the public back in Britain,
explaining how manipulation of the media helped to centre the Boer
War within British history.
