"This is a comprehensive, ground-breaking study of a hitherto neglected aspect of the Anglo-Boer War. This account... 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 as the commonplace; the constant awareness of death as well as the pranks and the jokes,"[front flap].
The final chapter deals with the Burghers who remained on commando to the bitter end, and why they did so; also why the Boer leaders opted for peace and the psychological effect of the Peace of Vereeniging on the burghers, 479pp. Book condition: laminated pictorial covers good, spine slightly faded, text and illustrations very good, no inscriptions. A good clean copy.
