The Anglo-Boer War was a tragic fascinating and complex historical event. It saw the end of a century a reign a way of life and was in many respects the curtain-raiser to the twentieth century providing a foretaste of what have become all too familiar horrors over the last hundred years: the mass involve ment of civilian populations in war; concentration camps and guerrilla warfare. They probe fascinating aspects of human resilience as revealed in time of war and are diverse entertaining and moving. But above all the stories have been selected for the quality of the writing. Among others there are texts by renowned authors: Herman Charles Bosman, Stuart Cloete, Thomas Hardy, Elsa Joubert, Rudyard Kipling C.
