x + 109pp. Illustrated. Foreword by Professor Arthur Keppel-Jones.

Binding solid. Light foxing to plates and general age toning to leaves. A good copy.

'There are always two sides to every question and the Boer War Concentration Camps have been continuously discussed, mainly from one angle, ever since that unhappy War.

Colonel Martin has spent years on research and in this sane, calmly written book, he shows that the British were, and still are, being grossly maligned for their conduct of the Camps.

If, after reading this book, the average South African will agree there were faults on both sides, - (in what war is this not true?) - then it will not have been published in vain and may perhaps dispel wrong impressions and help unite our people.' - editor's note
