Brown gilt-lettered cloth-boards enclosing a 2-coloured card-bound volume in English and Afrikaans (tumble). Plain endpapers. viii + 95 pp of b/w illustrated text and appendixes for each language. Many of the 67 photographs and diagrams are of historical interest.

This is a better than very good copy - complete, unmarked and undiscoloured - with the lightest of rubbing to the extremities of the boards.

"The history of the four fortresses around Pretoria, of which the restored Fort Klapperkop [military museum] is one, is intimately interwoven with the political and military past of the South African [Transvaal] Republic." (Opening paragraph of the military historian authors' introduction.)
