About This Book

A comprehensive history of South Africa that combines political, diplomatic, military, and social analysis to explain the causes, conduct, and consequences of the Boer–British conflict. It outlines long-standing racial and institutional tensions, economic and strategic pressures, and contested franchise and territorial arrangements that produced diplomatic crises and eventual warfare; presents chronology of negotiations, campaigns, leadership decisions, and military operations; and offers statistical material, biographies, and interpretive commentary assessing how the struggle reshaped colonial governance, imperial cohesion, and the prospects for a united, postwar South African polity.
