From Boer War to World War: Tactical Reform of the British Army, 1902-1914 (Campaigns and Commanders Series)
"All in all, this is an excellent book that provides much food for thought and which can be recommended without reservation." -Soldiers of the Queen:  The Journal of the Victorian Military Society"In this well-written, convincing study, Spencer Jones admirably demonstrates how the British Expeditionary Force was shaped by the lessons of the Boer War. He shows that the Boer War period is crucial in terms of military history and the transformation of ideas, and that it has been overlooked by historians of World War I for too long. This is an important work.”—Stephen M. Miller,author ofVolunteers on the Veld: Britain’s Citizen Soldiers and the South African War, 1899–1902
