The Boer War (1899-1902) shaped the destiny of what was to become South Africa. Although originally anticipated to be a short conflict, the British Empire needed nearly three years to subdue a rebel force that never numbered more than 35,000. A combination of new research, powerful oral testimony and a wealth of recently discovered letters and diaries makes this book an important reassessment of this much misunderstood conflict that has cast a long shadow across the century.
