The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) is one of the most intriguing conflicts of modern history. The difference in status and resources between the superpower Great Britain and two insignificant Boer republics in southern Africa was enormous. It has been labeled many things: the first media war, a precursor of the First and Second World Wars, the originator of apartheid.
Furthermore, unlike other accounts, Martin But, against all expectation, it took the British every effort and a huge sum of money to win the war, not least by unleashing a campaign of systematic terror against the civilian population.In The Boer War, winner of the Netherland's 2013 Libris History Prize and shortlisted for the 2013 AKO Literature Prize, the author brings a completely new perspective to this chapter of South African history, critically examining the involvement of the Netherlands in the war.
