'The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) was a "little war" fought in a remote corner of the British Empire. However, in Southern Africa this conflict represented a watershed in military medicine and in the way armies take care of their wounded and sick soldiers in time of war.

This extensive work covers all military medical aspects of the conflict: from the influence of Red Cross societies and foreign aid from Belgium, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, the United States of America and the Netherlands to the clinical aspects of military medical care. Healers, helpers and hospitals contributes to our canon on this war which continues to intrigue readers and historians from all over the world.' - editor's note
