Synopsis

Their lifestyle of hunting for sport and profit honed the Boers skills of field-craft, horsemanship, and marksmanship, making them a formidable force in the field and well suited to guerrilla operations.

This book describes the life and combat experiences of a typical Boer in this key period. Using meticulously researched analysis and comment, and the experiences of a composite character, Johannes de Bruyn, a revealing portrait of Boer life and military operations is drawn. The actions at Laings Neck, Majuba, the Zulu Civil War and the Second Anglo-Boer War are covered in this packed and informative treatment.
