The Anglo-Boer War, 18991902 by Fransjohan Pretorius is a richly illustrated historical overview of the South African War fought between the British Empire and the Boer republics from 1899 to 1902. Written for a broad readership, the book traces the conflict from its conventional military campaigns to the guerrilla resistance of the Boer bitter-enders, while also exploring often-neglected dimensions of the war, including the experiences of Boer civilians, British soldiers, Black South Africans, and prisoners of war. Combining concise analysis with maps, photographs, sketches, and colour illustrations, Pretorius presents the war not only as a military struggle but also as a socially transformative and deeply traumatic event that shaped modern South African history.
