The Anglo-Boer War: A Chronology – Pieter G. Cloete

This book is the product of a lifelong interest in military history and specifically the Anglo-Boer War.

The book relates the political and military events of the Anglo-Boer War in a strict chronological order with daily diary type entries. The daily entries are grouped under regional, campaign and other headings, enabling the reader to follow specific events, campaigns and other aspects of the war.

Where possible, direct quotations from speeches, letters, telegrams, etc., have been used to keep the events live as seen through the eyes of the participants. Trivia entries record other events during the period to give a wider historical perspective to the war, putting it in a world-wide setting.
