It outlines within one volume Britain's attempts to deprive the Afrikaners of the independence they had striven for since the seventeenth century, not only during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 but also in earlier clashes between Briton and Boer since Britain acquired the Cape of Good Hope in the Napoleonic War. The whole long struggle is knit together by the author in a stimulating, perceptive and fascinating text. Actual military operations against the Boers fall into three periods. Each was very different. By selecting typical battles from each period for detailed treatment, the author gives the reader the flavour of the Anglo-Boer conflict as they developed. To assist the reader to visualise the stern and stubborn Afrikaners together with the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and British South African soldiers who confronted them in the nineteenth century, the text is complemented by a large number of illustrations brought together from a variety of sources and six detailed maps show particular actions New Terms 2018 ************************************************************ THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
