Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 2 IN the preceding volume the political causes of the South African War were traced from the British acquisition of Cape Colony down to the ultimatum presented to the British Government by the Transvaal on October 9, 1899. The military antecedents of that war, and the narrative of the first three months of fighting, from the expiration of the ultimatum down to the battle of Colenso, form the contents of the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 2: Compiled by Direction of His of Majesty's Government The following circular letter was sent out during the composition of the present volume, and is now published to explain the conditions under which the history has been compiled: - "In sending round these proofs for comment, I am anxious to appeal to all who can throw light upon any points within their knowledge to do so. Now that the first volume has been published, it must, I think, be clear to all that our only object has been to state the true facts as far as we are able to get at them. This seems to have been generally recognised; but our success entirely depends on our obtaining all the criticism and evidence we can. The first drafts of the first volume were very different from the text as published; but, though this was due to the evidence we subsequently obtained from those to whom they were sent, yet in many instances the corrections were furnished with expressions of great indignation that the account was not in accordance with facts known to the writer, but not previously supplied to us. We cannot make bricks without straw; and though the mass of material to be dealt with is very great, it often fails us at important points. It is to fill in these deficiencies that we submit the story as we have it, to those who can give us better evidence. On one point a fiction has gone abroad which may much interfere with this. It has been freely stated that the volume was much 'sub-edited' in the interest of Departments concerned. There is not one word of truth in this. We have held no brief for anyone and no Department or Office has asked us to modify one word in their own interest. The only subject on which any Office asked for change was that mentioned on page I, Volume I., viz., any phrase that might affect our relations with our Boer fellow-subjects. Otherwise the narrative has been written exactly as we should have written it if we had been publishing a volume on our own account, except that under no other circumstances whatever could we have had complete evidence as to the truth."

This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 4 The composition of the present volume differs from that of its predecessors to the extent that, whereas in the former volumes the actual narrative as it, appeared, though based on the contributions of various collaborators, was mainly written by myself, I have in the present case confined myself strictly to the purely editorial task of criticism and suggestion. The volume as it stands is the work of Mr. Basil Williams, and he is responsible alike for the accuracy of the detailed facts recorded and for the judgments and criticisms expressed. This delegation of a difficult, laborious, and responsible task has made it possible to publish, within a year of its predecessor, a volume which it has taken fully two years of continuous effort to write.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 6: With Maps, Plans, and Photogravure Portraits I now take my leave of the History of the South African War. It is just nine years since I wrote the opening pages. Had I known then how laborious the task would prove, I freely confess that I should probably not have had the courage to embark upon it. I have grown very weary of it at intervals. But now the work is done I regret none of the labour which it has cost. To me it has been a wonderful lesson not only in the supremely interesting business of war, but in the whole Imperial problem of which the struggle in South Africa has been but a single phase. My only hope is that I have succeeded in some measure, however small, in making that lesson plain to those who have the patience to study these volumes.

This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 3 The favourable reception accorded three years ago to the second volume of the present work, both by subscribers and by the general public, in spite of the considerable delays which had attended its publication, encouraged me in the belief that I should do right in proceeding on the same lines, and in subordinating all other considerations to the en deavour to produce a thoroughly trustworthy and convincing narrative. Circumstances were, in many ways, more favour able to my undertaking than they had been before. The conclusion of the war enabled me to visit many of the battle fields I had been unable to see during the progress of hostilities, and has since brought within my reach a vast amount of information previously inaccessible. These favouring conditions have not only greatly amplified the evidence available with regard to the details of the various operations, but have given me a much fuller insight into the inner mechanism of the campaign, into the motives and ideas on both sides, of which the struggle on the battlefield was but the outward and visible expression. The result is a volume which, I venture to think, is in many respects a decided improvement upon its predecessor. But the result has only been attained at the cost of a great increase of the labour involved, and of a protracted delay which has, I am well aware, sorely taxed the patience of subscribers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899 1902, Vol. 7: Index and Appendices The various appendices and the index which make up the present volume are the work of Mr. G. P. Tallboy, who has acted as secretary to the History for the last seven years, and whom I have to thank not only for the labour and research comprised in this volume, but for much useful assistance in the past. The index will, I hope, prove of real service to students of the war. The general principles on which it has been compiled are those with which the index to The Times has familiarized the public. The very full bibliography which Mr. Tallboy has collected may give the reader some inkling of the amount of work involved in the composition of this history. I cannot claim to have actually read all the works comprised in the list, though I think there are comparatively few among them that have not been consulted. On the other hand the list does not include the blue - books, despatches, magazine and newspaper articles, and, above all, private diaries, narratives and notes, which.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 5 The military aim which the British people and the British Army had set before themselves at the outbreak of the war had been achieved, and more than achieved, by the close of the first year. In his great marches, from Modder River Camp to the Portuguese frontier, Lord Roberts had swept away the stubborn resistance of the Boer armies, had triumphantly occupied all the chief towns of the two Republics, and had securely established himself upon the great arteries of communication. After Komati Poort there was no longer a single compact, centrally organised and centrally equipped Boer force in the field; the Boer artillery had almost disappeared; on every side the burghers were coming in to assure the conquerors that the surrender of those who were still in arms was but a matter of a few days or at the outside weeks. Few, indeed, there were who recognised that the British aim had been set too low, or understood the magnitude and character of the task that still lay between Lord Kitchener and the realisation of the national purpose expressed in the formal annexation of the Republics.

Since then the whole volume has necessarily been recast, and it was not possible to go to page proof till the first chapter had been approved. Hence the delay in the appearance of the volume.
