The War in South Africa: A Narrative of the Anglo-Boer War From the Beginning of Hostilities to the Fall of Pretoria

"The War in South Africa: A Narrative of the Anglo-Boer War From the Beginning of Hostilities to the Fall of Pretoria" is a historical account by A.T. Mahan, focusing on the early stages of the Second Boer War (1899-1902). The book details the initial military actions, including the Boer sieges of British towns and the early British offensives, culminating in the British capture of Pretoria.
The book covers the period from the outbreak of hostilities in October 1899, when the Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State declared war on Britain, to the fall of Pretoria in June 1900. Key events include the Boer victories at Colenso, Magersfontein, and Stormberg, followed by the British reinforcements and their subsequent advances. Mahan's narrative likely explores the strategic decisions, military tactics, and key battles of this phase of the war.
