A good brief account of this war which the South Africans still resent

Picked up during the meet-up at The Layer Fox, Laye de la Haye to pass on to a friend with an interest in history.

Given to ancient-welly.

Received from Ardachy. The title does the soldiers and Boers a disservice, all of whom fought bravely; the standard of leadership from the British officers left alot to be desired, many of them led as though they were still commanding battalions and had a limited grasp of strategy at corps and divisional level; Roberts and Kitchener provided that.
I will be donating this book, with others of mine not here registered, to the British Heart Foundation's shop in Grays this afternoon.
