Description: A good account of the British side of the Boer War, well illustrated with black and white photographs. For a book written by a man of the Church, no attempt is made to stand back and question the morality of the War, and the issue of 'concentration camps', started by the British in that conflict, is avoided. It would, however, be surprising at that date if such issues had been raised.
