2.0 out of 5 stars A one-eyed view of the first modern war, 22 Aug 2002
Not being either British or South African, I had a very limited knowledge of the Boer War when I picked up this book in a Banbury bookstore. As it turned out, this book gives a very confusing account of what happened during the war. It quotes extensively from letters sent home from the British soldiers but this approach fails to give the reader the big picture. It is undeniable that a battlefield is a very confusing place to be from the viewpoint of a single soldier and I would much rather have read more about the grand strategies and the tactics discussed at army headquarters. Also, the whole war is discussed from the British viewpoint and the Boers remain an anonymous mass.

Finally, I would have liked to see a more detailed account of the background to the war and what led Britain to send soldiers thousands of miles to fight a war in a distant corner of the world.
