Description: "From the terrifying concentration camp of Winburg during the Anglo Boer War - called by the Sotho nation, "Balla Bosiu" - where they cry at night, to the killing fields of the Somme and Verdun during WWI, and Death Railway in Thailand during World War II, we follow the trails of a woman scorned. Hence another adage, "Hell hath no fury like that of a women scorned." Likewise a man that forfeited fair play must have written it.  Susan Nell, an inmate of Winburg's concentration camp had a bone to pick with those that violated and disgraced her on "Hogmanay" that is New Year's Eve 1901/1902. "None so brave as the dead", has for millenia echoed from within the wild pheasant's cry, according to KhoiSan legend. Susan Nell proved it to be true..."--Cover.
