The Boer War (1899-1902) witnessed the professionals of the British Army pitted against the gifted amateurs who led the Boer commandos.
For the Boers, it was a struggle for their independence; for the British, an attempt once and for all to assert her political supremacy in South Africa.
Whilst sheer weight of numbers and ruthless tactics eventually secured a British victory, the extraordinary Boer effort won respect worldwide.
This is an in-depth study of the principal commanders on both sides, in a conflict that was both 'the last of the gentleman's wars' and the first modern one.
