1989 first edition hardcover with dust jacket in good condition, although book is ex-library. 189pages. R28 postage in SA.   In December 1899 rioting broke out in Dublin, the like of which had not been seen in generations. Unique in the island's long and bitter history, these disturbances concerned not Ireland but South Africa, On the field of battle Irish regiments in the British army faced Irish commandoes fighting with Boer forces, two colonially beleaguered peoples in solidarity. This surreal confrontation heightened the pro-Boer fever which swept nationalist Ireland as it took the struggle of the Tranvaal Republic against British imperialism to its heart.
