Publisher's Synopsis
1900. Charles T. Bunce is another author whose work appears in the book. The volume contains three essays whose intent is to present the facts of the war between the Britons and Boers in South Africa to American readers in an impartial manner. The first section of the book, Paul Kruger: His Life Story is an excellent personal description of the characteristics and habits of the remarkable man who is at the head of the Transvaal Republic, together with a fair presentation of the English side of the case by Mr. Frederick A. McKenzie, an Englishman, who writes with comparatively little prejudice. This is followed by The Transvaal Boer Speaking for Himself, which involves a presentation of the other side of the story by M.J. Du Plessis, a native of Johannesburg, and an able defender of his country's cause. In the concluding portion of the work, A Brief History of the Transvaal Republic, the writer, Charles T. Bunce, has endeavored to present the actual historical facts so clearly and concisely as to enable the reader to obtain a distinct understanding of the exact situation.
