Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1899 to 1902, South Africa was convulsed by the conflict between Britain and two small Afrikaner republics, the ZAR (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. This is an outline of the war, through the first formal stages to the guerilla struggle of the bitter end. Finally, it focuses on individual aspects of the war that are often overlooked in a more general approach. The interplay of text and pictures seeks to illuminate the social complexities of a hostile veld, and the role of blacks in the warfare.

Book excerpt: "The Second Boer War was Britain’s first modern war, delivering many of the challenges that would dominate World War One and beyond. But it was a conflict waged by generals rooted in colonial conquests and would prove a steep learning curve.In Britain there was popular support for the war and tens of thousands from across the class divide volunteered. It was the birthplace of modern guerrilla warfare, concentration camps, blockhouses, and scorched earth tactics. Boer War is a must-read for anyone interested in British and South African history."--Publisher' website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorious in its previous campaigns in Africa against native armies, Britain now confronted an altogether different foe. The Boers proved to be formidable opponents, masterfully compensating for inferior numbers with grim determination, resourcefulness and strong religious faith. Their mobility, expert use of cover, and knowledge of the terrain, in which they employed powerful long-range magazine rifles, gave them initial advantages. By contrast the British suffered from inadequate transport, insufficient mounted troops and poor intelligence. Despite marshalling the immense resources of their empire, the British were to be severely tested in a war which one general described as 'the graveyard of many a soldier's reputation'.
