The Breaker by Kit Denton with a selection of his verse. Anglo Boer War history

Harry "Breaker" Morant - horseman, poet, soldier, and, perhaps, murderer of civilians was first published in 1973, and it was inspired by a conversation with a Boer War veteran who had actually known 

 Dust jacket synopsis: “There was a Breaker Morant - he was executed at Pietersburg on February 27, 1901. His crime? Wilful murder of civilians. Yet to this day his guilt remains in doubt.

"Kit Denton's novel The Breaker does more than recount the facts and mystery surrounding Morant's death sentence. With action stretched across three continents, it covers the entire range of the Breaker's career. We see him as a champion horseman, a lovable larrikin, a popular balladist. We see him in love and in war. Then we see him face the firing squad that will end his life.
