Publisher's Synopsis
This is the fourth of Michael Barthorp's illustrated histories of the British Army's 19th-century colonial campaigns. It outlines Britain's attempts to deprive the Afrikaners of the independence they had striven for since the 17th century; independence not only sought during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 but also in earlier clashes between Briton and Boer after Britain had occupied the Cape of Good Hope in the Napoleonic War.
