About This Book
A detailed campaign volume that follows military operations in the Transvaal theatre, narrating relief attempts for besieged towns, mounted and infantry maneuvers, the encirclement and surrender of a field force, and occupation of a principal town. It combines chronological battle accounts, strategic and tactical commentary, maps and numerous illustrations, eyewitness-style reports of sieges and formal entries, and discussion of political and parliamentary debates over troop composition and colonial contingents. The narrative ends with operations pushing toward a major set-piece engagement, while appendices and staff lists provide documentary supplements.
