"SLOGGING OVER AFRICA - THE BOER WARS 1815-1902" BY MICHAEL BARTHORPE, SOFTCOVER, 1987 FIRST EDITION, 176 PAGES. NO NAMES OR INSCRIPTIONS. IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
When the Boer settlers left British-ruled Cape Colony to conquer new territories for themselves, few imagined they would find themselves fighting the British for their independence. But the discovery of gold and diamonds in the Transvaal led to a conspiracy to incorporate the Boer republics into the British Empire. No-one at least in London or Cape Town imagined these farmers could oppose a modern European army. But they did.
The Boers savaged a British column at Majuba Hill and an uneasy peace endured for another ten years. Full-scale war broke out again in 1899 with the Boers enjoying considerable international support.
