Author - Denis Judd & Keith Surridge
Publisher - John Murray; 2002, First edition.
A near fine hardcover book in a near fine dustjacket.
The Boer War was an epic both of heroism and of bungling, cunning and barbarism and this book presents a fresh view of the war and debunks several myths.
There was not, for instance, a straightforward divide between Boers and British, many Boers fought on the British side, and many British were strongly pro-Boer, denouncing their own side's 'methods of barbarism'.
In fact, in the history of the two communities, the war was an uncharacteristically violent collision.
Although it led to some long standing resentments, the overriding aim of both sides was to maintain European supremacy and to keep Africans and Indians in their place.
Pages xvi + 352 with a few illustrations.
