This turn-of-the century conflict pitched the might of the British Empire against 80,000 Boers. It is one of the most significant wars in military history bringing to the fore many household names such as Lord Kitchner, Robert Baden-Powell and even Winston Churchill. An in-depth study of the Boer War's strategies, politics and social implication, this text features eye-witness accounts that describe the brutality of the conflict from both British and Boer viewpoints.
David Smurthwaite is Assistant Director at the National Army Museum, London. He is the author of The Ordnance Survey Complete Guide to the Battlefields of Britain, co-author of Project Korea, The British Soldier in Korea 1951-53.
