Softcover published by Jonathan Ball
The war declared by the Boers on 11 October 1899 gave the British, as Kipling said, no end of a lesson. It proved to be the longest, the costliest, the bloodiest, and the most humiliating campaign that Britain fought between 1815 and 1914.
Thomas Pakenham has written the first full-scale history of the war since 1910. His narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources ranging from the private papers of the leading protagonists to the recollections of survivors from both sides. Out of this historical gold mine, the author has constructed a narrative as vivid and fast-moving as a novel and a history that in scholarship, breadth, and impact will endure for many years.
