Many myths surround the events and personalities of this period of British colonial history, not least because reputations were protected, destroyed and subjected to scrutiny by a Royal Commission of Enquiry in 1902-1903. Who really lost Spioenkop and Ladysmith? Why did the campaign cost so much in money and lives? Were individuals or the Army hierarchy to blame for those reversals on the road to an inevitable victory? The author attempts to answer these questions in a controversial treatment of a notorious episode in British military history.

Duisende republikeinse burgers het as joiners by die Britse magte aangesluit, terwyl ander weer inligting oor die Boeremagte aan die vyand verskaf het. Die straf vir hul verraad? Die dood.

Jooste en Oosthuizen het dus naas Jordaan se werk ook 'n wye verskeidenheid publikasies wat die afgelope eeu oor die Kaapse rebeIle verskyn het, geraadpleeg. Daarby het hulle taIle argiefstukke, foto's en geskrifte in argiefbewaarplekke, museums, biblioteke en privaat besit, asook vele inskripsies op monumente en grafstene tydens hul navorsing vir die boek ontgin. Die inhoud van die boek is in twee dele verdeel. Deel I handel oor teregstellings in Kaapland en Deel II oor teregstellings in die Boererepublieke.

When the Boer settlers left Cape Colony to conquer new territories, they did not expect to have to fight the British for their independence. The discovery of gold and diamonds in the Transvaal, however, changed everything. Almost no one thought these \"farmers\" could oppose a modern European army. But they did, and their initial victory ushered in an uneasy peace for the next decade. When war broke out again, the Boers had considerable international support--including from the German Kaiser.

Reitz describes that he had no hatred of the British people, but \"as a South African, one had to fight for one's country.\" Reitz had learned to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk, and the skills and endurance he had acquired during those years were to be made full use of during the war. He fought with different Boer Commandos, where each Commando consisted mainly of farmers on horseback, using their own horses and guns. Commando describes the tumult through the eyes of a warrior in the saddle. Reitz was fortunate to be present at nearly every one of the major battles of the war. Commando is a straightforward narrative that describes an extraordinary adventure and brings us a vivid, unforgettable picture of mobile guerrilla warfare, especially later in the war as General Smuts and men like Reitz fought on, braving heat, cold, rain, lack of food, clothing and boots, tiring horses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37566994776214,"sku":"Commando","price":450.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210113_185003.jpg?v=1610646848"},{"product_id":"the-savage-wars-british-campaigns-in-africa-1870-1920-by-james-lawrence","title":"The Savage Wars: British Campaigns in Africa 1870-1920 by James, Lawrence","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Savage Wars: British Campaigns in Africa 1870-1920 by James, Lawrence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, ISBN 9780709023616\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Robert Hale Ltd, 1985\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsed - Very Good.

Elsabé Brits het Emily se handgeskrewe notas, dagboeke en plakboeke in 'n trommel in Kanada ontdek, en haal hieruit en uit ander nuwe bronne aan. Só gee sy 'n genuanseerde, vars blik op 'n buitengewone vrou wat voortdurend in die spervuur was. Van kleintyd het Emily haar verset teen haar lot. Vir vroue was daar min geleenthede en sy moes boonop haar siek pa oppas. Tog raak sy wêreldwyd betrokke by die stryd teen onreg en oorlog. In twee oorloë het sy duisende lewens gered, en nogtans is sy - 'n ware patriot - in haar eie land onbekend en alleen dood. As kampvegter vir vrouestemreg en in haar uitgesproke teenkanting teen onreg is Emily Hobhouse 'n ikoon wat vandag nog inspireer.

Illness forced her to seek refuge in Italy where she remained almost to the beginning of World War I, and began her famous correspondence first with J C Smuts and then with Isabel Steyn. Her comments on the events of the day show unusual foresight. She was loved by the people of South Africa and admired by those like Mahatma Gandhi who asked for her help. She was a bit of a painter, a writer and an entertainer, and in spite of ill-health travelled easily between countries, even in the midst of the first World War when she went to Germany and hoped to obtain peace. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003eReturning to Europe after that war Emily Hobhouse put into a place a number of schemes to help the impoverished, but the cry of the children of Leipzig won her particular sympathy, and with the help of the Save the Children Fund and later the South Africans she devised a feeding scheme for them.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003eThe South Africans so admired her that they clubbed together to buy her a little house in Cornwall, at St. Ives.

He would go on to write a prodigious 65 books in his lifetime. He was rewarded for this in 1953 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Yet in Britain his abilities as a writer were already widely recognized by the end of the 19th century. Yet oddly enough he had not excelled academically at school and it was only on his third attempt that he passed the entrance examination to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore entering politics he went on to combine his military career with journalism and shortly after the outbreak of the South African War in 1899, he was contracted as a war correspondent for the Morning Post. He made his way to the Natal front where he was destined to become one of the highest-paid newspaper reporters in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch has been made of Churchill’s heroism. The exceptional courage he displayed when defending the derailed armoured train at Chieveley in Natal made his reputation. Yet strictly speaking as a journalist he was a non-combatant, but on his capture, the Boers treated him as a combatant because of his actions at the armoured train.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was not an isolated incident of bravery for on other occasions, in Cuba , India and in Africa , his sometimes almost reckless courage had drawn widespread comment. On three different occasions during the Malakand campaign in India , he rode his pony along the skirmish line while everyone else was ducking for cover. He admitted that his actions were foolish, but playing for high stakes was a calculated risk. ‘Given an audience there is no act too daring or too noble’, he wrote to his mother, and concluded his letter by saying: ‘... without the gallery things are different.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScaling the wall surrounding the prison yard in Pretoria and making his way through enemy territory to Portuguese East Africa was not considered a particularly great feat by the British military. Yet his escape — he was largely unknown to the British people until then — was hailed by many as one of the greatest military escapes ever. His instant fame, to a large degree, came about because the war was going badly for the British Army at the time. A depressed British people needed a hero to bolster their sagging enthusiasm for the war, so Winston Churchill was their man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe had the need to stay in the limelight to fuel his political ambitions and the best way to achieve that was by returning to the front as a journalist and part-time soldier after his escape where he continued to captivate the readers of the Morning Post with his dispatches, writing convincingly about his own and other’s front-line experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis stories of how he miraculously escaped the bullets that whistled around him in Natal and the Orange Free State and how he rode a bicycle through enemy-held Johannesburg, ending with his triumphant returned to Pretoria where he helped to liberate his former fellow POW's from captivity, earned his newspaper a fortune.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that the adventures he described sometimes did not happen exactly the way he related them didn't seem to bother anyone. William Manchester wrote: ‘Virtually every event he (Churchill) described in South Africa , as in Cuba , on the North-West Frontier, and at Omdurman , was witnessed by others with whom recollections were consistent. The difference, of course, lay in the interpretation.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI set out to discover the real Churchill in those early years of his life. During this process I discovered many facets to this complex and controversial man. At times I felt like a certain painter described by Cervantes. This sage artist was asked, as he was starting on a new canvas, what his picture was to be. ‘That’, he replied, ‘is as it may turn out.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo this, my account of how the young and extraordinary Winston Churchill became a hero during the South African War, is how it turned out.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galago Publishing Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37624736874646,"sku":"Winston Churchill: The Making of a Hero in the South African War","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210121_201705.jpg?v=1611254191"},{"product_id":"the-diary-of-g-f-austen-my-experiences-in-potchefstroom-during-the-first-boer-war-1880-1881","title":"The diary of G.F.

St. Louis in the American state of Missouri is a city full of noise and smoke, wedged into the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi.

He has a drooping moustache, a goatee and between keen eyes a long, straight nose. In a parade-ground voice he announces the show: 'Ladies and gentlemen, the Battle of Paardeberg!'

In 1882 he was called to the bar. He now returned to Free State and soon had a flourishing practice in Bloemfontein. On 10 March 1887 he married Rachel Isabella (Tibbie) Fraser.

Steyn won and was sworn in as president on 4 March 1896.

The author expresses the hope that the publication of the volume will conduce to the development of a more liberal feeling towards our future colonists, the Boers, the early pioneers of civilisation, colonisation, and European dominion in South Africa. He considered that the causes of the war were due partially to the peculiarities and untractableness of the Boers themselves; but, principally, to the undoubted mismanagement and wilful blindness of the Imperial authorities both at home and out here, as evidenced by the various and contradictory policies pursued by successive governors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Africana Book Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39964956655766,"sku":"With the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1880-1","price":480.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210601_181837.jpg?v=1622566629"},{"product_id":"maar-een-soos-hy-die-lewe-van-kmdt-c-a-van-niekerk-by-h-c-hopkins","title":"Maar Een Soos Hy- Die lewe van Kmdt C.A. van Niekerk by H.

In January 1901 he became commandant of the Vredefort commando, fighting in this capacity until the end of the war, in the last months of which he and his men were active in the Vredefort area. During the negotiations at Vereeniging which led to the declaration of peace on 31.5.1902, he represented the Lower Renoster River (Vredefort) section of the Kroonstad commando and was one of six delegates who voted against accepting the British conditions for peace. He was later awarded the Dekoratie voor Trouwe Dienst (D.T.D.) for his services in the struggle for independence. Van N. was a man of powerful stature and proud bearing. To his ardent patriotism and love of his heritage he added a simple dignity and humble piety. He was in fact an aristocrat of Afrikaners and at the end of a long life he had a unique place in the hearts of his people as 'Oom Chris'. Three days after his death he was buried with full military honours in the 'Heldeakker' in Oudtshoorn near his friend of long standing, C. J.

Unique in the island's long and bitter history, these disturbances concerned not Ireland but South Africa, \"another Ireland seven thousand miles away\". On the field of battle Irish regiments in the British army faced Irish commandoes fighting with Boer forces, two colonially beleaguered peoples in solidarity. This surreal confrontation heightened the pro-Boer fever which swept nationalist Ireland as it took the struggle of the Transvaal Republic against British imperialism to its heart. The new literary intelligentsia, WB Yeats, George Moore and Lady Gregory enthusiastically supported the campaign. The young Sean O'Casey watched with horror as the mounted Dublin police sabre-charged a crowd of Irish pro-Boer demonstrators, including the beautiful Maud Gonne, muse of the poet Yeats; the socialist leader James Connolly; and the future leader of the newly independent Ireland, Arthur Griffith, recently returned from editing a newspaper in the Transvaal. On lamp posts and on walls leaflets and posters proclaimed the cause of Kruger and his nation. Boer generals became Irish folk heroes, ballads were written in their praise and clubs for the national sport of hurley were renamed after them. In city, town and village an alien flag - the vierkleur - fluttered defiantly. In this book Dr McCracken, using hitherto un published material gathered in Ireland and South Africa has pieced together the development of the most influential and violent of the European pro Boer movements, from its infancy in the days of the great Parnell to its zenith during the second Anglo-Boer war. In addition he throws light on the extraordinary twist of the arch imperialist Cecil Rhodes financing the Irish nationalist party in the British parliament and on the activities of Irish revolutionaries in South Africa. This forgotten story will appeal not only to those interested in Africana or the history of Ire land but also to the observer of the modern Irish and South African questions. 189 pages including index, bibliography and black-and-white photographs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perskor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40233770975382,"sku":"The Irish Pro-Boers 1877 - 1902","price":420.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210708_174942.jpg?v=1625762154"},{"product_id":"witnesses-to-war-personal-documents-of-the-anglo-boer-war-from-the-collections-of-the-south-african-library-by-schoeman-karel","title":"Witnesses to War: Personal Documents of the Anglo-Boer War from the Collections of the South African Library by Schoeman, Karel","description":"\u003cp\u003eWitnesses to War: Personal Documents of the Anglo-Boer War from the Collections of the South African Library by Schoeman, Karel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover, ISBN 9780798138482\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Human \u0026amp; Rousseau, Cape Town, 1998\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsed - Very Good. 176 pages, including index, with many photographic illustrations in-text.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this book the Editor Karel Schoeman has given the reader a glimps and insight of the treasure chest of Personal Documents of the Anglo-Boer War from the Collections of the South African Library among them letters and reports from 47 individual authors and 75 photographs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Human \u0026 Rousseau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40247439556758,"sku":"Witnesses to War: Personal Documents of the Anglo-Boer War from the Collections of the South African Library","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210711_115550.jpg?v=1625999008"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/collections\/Web_background4_900x_76325201-b553-4fd3-a880-40fa570cb580.png?v=1776956660","url":"https:\/\/timeless-collectible-books.com\/collections\/1899-1902-second-anglo-boer-war-south-african-war.oembed?page=5","provider":"Timeless Collectible Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
