Publisher's Synopsis
Kruger's Secret Service is a book written by an anonymous author who claims to have been a member of the secret service during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). The book provides a detailed account of the inner workings of the Boer Republic's intelligence agency, which was responsible for gathering information and carrying out covert operations against the British forces. The author describes the recruitment process and training of secret agents, as well as their methods of communication and the use of codes and ciphers. The book also includes several anecdotes about successful and failed missions, such as the assassination attempt on British General Lord Kitchener and the failed attempt to blow up a British troop train. Kruger's Secret Service sheds light on the Boer perspective of the war and their tactics, which were often unconventional and ruthless. The book also provides insight into the political and social climate of the Boer Republic and the motivations behind their fight for independence. Overall, Kruger's Secret Service is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the Second Boer War and the role of intelligence agencies in modern warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
