'On the 11th October 1899 the Transvaal and Orange Free State went to war with Great Britain. Britain anticipated a quick victory, certainly not expecting volunteer Boer farmers, self equipped and in the European sense untrained for war, to be able to hold out for long against the might of the Britaish Army, an army that had not suffered a serious reverse since they had beaten Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815, eighty five years before.' A facsimile reprint of the original edition (1903), 274pp.
