Life On Commando during the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 is a ground-breaking study of a hitherto neglected aspect of the Anglo-Boer War.This multifaceted account, rich in contrasts, vividly portrays the real life experiences of the Boer combatants during the war, dealing with the tragedy as well as the humour, the dramatic as well the commonplace: the constant awareness of death as well as the pranks and the jokes.These burghers were no superhuman heroes, but ordinary mortals, prey, from time to time, to stubbornness and poor discipline, selfishness and dishonesty.
