Sobre este artículo
London, Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball | Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1979 'Thomas Pakenham has written the first full-scale documentary history of the war to be attempted since 1910. his narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources. He has combed the original British documents in the Public Record Office and the material in South African archives. He has traced the private papers of most of the protagonists. He found the letters of Sir Redvers Buller - the British Commander-in-Chief in 1899 - letters which had remained hidden under a billiard table at Buller's house in Devon. He has unearthed new material from the trunk-loads of Lord Roberts's papers, discovered a massive secret journal of the war compiled by the War Office Intellilgence Department, and found the private letters from the War Minister, Lord Lansdowne and other members of the Cabinet. and he has dug up several hundred sets of letters and diaries written by the men who fought in the war. finally, he has tape-recorded the memories of over fifty survivors from both sides.' Flyleaf clipped. Former owner's name stamped title page. Size: Approx 7" Wide - 10" Tall
Sinopsis
The war declared by the Boers of South Africa on October 11, 1899, gave the British, as Kipling said, 'No end of a lesson.' The public expected it to be over by Christmas. It proved to be the longest, the costliest, the bloodiest and most humiliating war that Great Britain fought between 1815 and 1914.
