Inside Mafeking: "A Monument to British Pluck"

Author - Robin Drooglever

Publisher - Token Publishing Ltd; 2011

A new quarto hardback book with illustrated boards. No dustjacket, as issued.

This book takes a fascinating look at the Siege of Mafeking during the second Boer War - from the viewpoint of someone who was actually there.

Captain Herbert Greener was the Chief Paymaster in Mafeking and it is his signature that appears on the famous siege notes. Don't be fooled though, this isn't a simple facsimile of Greener's diary though - rather the journal has been studied meticulously by the Editor Robin Drooglever and the story of the siege written around it.

There are verbatim diary entries, of course, telling the story in Greener's own words but the analysis of those words by Drooglever makes this book required reading for anyone with an interest in the Boer War.

Pages xii + 152.
