Download or read book The Boer War written by Thomas Pakenham and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 1997 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boer War proved to be the longest, costliest, bloodiest and most humiliating war fought by Britain between 1815 and 1914. This reissued narrative history is based on first-hand and largely unpublished (elsewhere) sources, from both British and South African archives, as well as private papers, letters and diaries of the protagonists and soldiers of both sides, and the tape-recorded memories of over 50 survivors. Out of this abundance of information, the author has constructed a vivid narrative, writing movingly of the plight of the 100,000 black Africans who served both armies and explaining the final political victory of the Boers - how they lost the war but won the peace.

Download or read book Boer War written by Thomas Pakenham and published by Harper Perennial. This book was released on 1992-12-01 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boers of South Africa responded to Britain's annexation of the gold-and-diamond-rich Transvaal region by declaring war on October 11, 1899. The English believed the fighting would be over by Christmas -- never dreaming they were on the brink of one of the longest, bloodiest, most costly and humiliating military campaigns in their history. Mammoth in scope and scholarship, as vivid, fast-moving and breathtakingly compelling as the finest fiction. Thomas Pakenham's The Boer War is the definitive account of this extraordinary conflict -- a war precipitated by greed and marked by almost inconcievable blundering and brutalities . . . and whose shattering repercussions can be felt to this very day.
