Product Description

This is an examination of the political countdown to the "Second Boer War" via the earlier conflict of 1880-81 and the Jameson Raid of 1895, setting the story in its South African and European contexts - for the discovery of gold in the Transvaal and the encroachment of German imperial ambitions contributed to Britain's belligerence alongside the incompatibility of Anglo-Boer aims.
