Book excerpt: This is an annotated and illustrated republication of Churchill's despatches while serving as a war correspondent for London's 'Morning Post' during the Second Boer War. It covers the period from October 1899 until March of 1900. It is highlighted by Churchill's capture during the ambush of an Armoured Train in Natal, and his subsequent escape from the Officer's Prison in Pretoria; followed by his return to action as a lieutenant in the South African Light Horse regiment for the remainder of the campaign to relieve the siege of Ladysmith. It includes his first hand experiences during the battles of Spion Kop, Val Krantz and the Tugela Heights as well as the Relief of Ladysmith. In 1923 wrote and published in several magazines an account of his escape that recognized the courage of the people who had assisted him. These persons and events were by necessity not identified in his original book. The work has also been augmented with as many additional contemporary newspaper and personal accounts of the same events by his compatriots during the campaign. Additions to the text also include articles related to his family and an article discussing the controversy relating to Churchill's use of a Mauser C96 pistol during the campaign. The compilation of these works, their annotation, illustration, and expansion with additional authored material were undertaken by Payton Fireman, JD. This is volume 2 of the series: The Last Horse War.

Download or read book The Boer War written by Fred R. van Hartesveldt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Boer War, the British continue to debate what went wrong, while the war has significant nationalist overtones in today's South Africa. This book examines changes in interpretations of the war and provides a bibliography of major sources on the Boer War, now sometimes called the South African War. The bibliography focuses on the military history, but also includes some historical accounts of the political debate. The first part of the book provides an extended historiographical essay, while part two provides an annotated bibliography of the titles discussed in part one. Historiographical questions concerning the Boer War are numerous. Discussions of military operations focus on the early use of modern weaponry and the effect of guerrilla tactics on a traditional force, while other historians debate the question of British military leadership and organization. Questions also revolve around British imperialism and the scramble for Africa. Frequently called the second war for freedom by South African authors, the war was the reason that South Africa, unlike other British colonies, gained independence without majority rule. This makes the war of continuing relevance to the turmoil in South Africa, the collapse of the minority government, and the continuing problems of the current government. This book will provide a useful tool for those wishing to research the war.

Download or read book London to Ladysmith Ian Hamilton s March written by Winston Churchill and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to his enduring fame as a statesman, Winston Churchill was a Nobel Prize-winning author whose military histories offer the unique perspective of a participant in world affairs. London to Ladysmith and Ian Hamilton's March reflect his early career as a Boer War correspondent for London's Morning Post in 1899 and 1900. London to Ladysmith chronicles the Boer War's first five months, from the author's arrival in South Africa to his capture during a Boer ambush of an armored train. Churchill's gripping narrative of his escape from a prisoner-of-war camp traces a grueling journey across enemy territory and back to British lines. Ian Hamilton's March picks up the action immediately afterward, documenting the eponymous general's 400-mile advance from Bloemfontein to Pretoria. The march saw ten major battles and numerous skirmishes, culminating in the release of prisoners from the camp where Churchill himself was held. Written mostly in the field, this book offers a vivid, personal account of the conditions under which the Boer War was fought, as well as a fascinating look at the formative years of one of the twentieth century's preeminent leaders.
