Battles of the Boer War – W. Baring Pemberton

R80.00

– 1899: 40,000 Boer farmers declare war on the British Empire, defeat the most experienced regular army of the day, and make it a capital offence to shoot a British general.

It was the last of the Gentlemen’s Wars and the first of the modern wars. But for the blood-stained lesions learned on the veld, 1914 might well have ended in defeat.

Price: R80.00

Edition: Reprint

Published: 1969

Publishers: Pan Books

ISBN: 330023837

Condition: Paperback in good condition with scuff marks around the edges of the cover. Internally in good condition – pages slightly browned due to age, clean and tightly bound.
