Additional Information

Mafeking! The Story of a Siege tells the story of the Siege of Mafeking. In late 1899, war was imminent in South Africa. Colonel Baden-Powell had been ordered by Britain to set up a military base in the border town of Mafeking

Psychologically affected by then fact that it was from here that the Jameson Raid was launched, the Boers determined to regain this key town.

The exceptional military leadership, indomitable spirit and personal charisma of Baden-Powell made him the ideal officer for the defence. He became the ultimate source of inspiration for the defenders of Mafeking during the seven and half month siege
