With the Boers: A Journalist's Experiences of the Anglo-Boer War from the Boer Perspective
ISBN: 9780857065766 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War with the Boer forces
The Boer War was the last major war of the Victorian age for the British Army and, perhaps more significantly, it was the last conflict that could be said to have its foundations in the practice of warfare as it had been fought for almost 500 years. The wind of change was nevertheless blowing across the South African veldt, for the citizen army of the Boers was employing new, state of the art weaponry-both small arms and artillery-which surpassed in quality and efficiency that of the British. Boer commando fighting was a comparatively new tactic which required... War with the Boer forces
