In die Anglo-Boereoorlog is die stryd nie net op die slagveld nie, maar ook tot op plaashuise se stoepe gevoer. Die aanhouding van vroue en kinders in konsentrasiekampe was deel van 'n totale of volskaalse oorlog wat die Britse Ryk teen stryders én burgerlikes van die twee Boererepublieke geloods het.
Die haglike omstandighede en oorbevolking in die meeste kampe het tot duisende sterftes en onmeetbare lyding gelei. Die trauma van hierdie oorlog het verterende emosies onder Afrikaners losgemaak en sou in die toekoms 'n lang skaduwee werp. Die oorlog kom huis toe ondersoek die oorsake en verloop van hierdie tragiese gebeure.
The authors:
Bill Nasson is one of South Africas most popular and highly respected historians. He has written on the South African War, the two world wars, cricket, District Six, schooldays and education, Hollywood and history, Mandela and other political biographies, and a great many other topics.
Albert Grundlingh is a former Head of the History Department at Stellenbosch University and has published extensively in the broad field of social history. He is a graduate of the University of the Free State and was appointed at the University of South Africa in 1973, where he obtained MA and D Litt et Phil degrees. In 2001 he moved to Stellenbosch University . Grundlingh is the author of two books, co-author of two, and has also edited three books besides publishing a combined total of 60 articles and chapters in books. Many of his publications have appeared in leading international journals. He specialises in social and cultural history with a particular interest in war and society. His major works deal with the so-called Handsuppers and Joiners during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, Black South African troops during the First World War, and he would like to think that the book he has co-written on rugby and South African society is akin to dealing with the phenomenon of war in a different format.
