"Excellent volume… a work that offers some original themes and revisions rather than presenting the same old story in different words

"a remarkable collection of essays covering neglected aspects of the Boer War… It is unusual for a work of collected papers such as this to be so uniformly excellent and informative. The Boer War is a monument to the scholarly expertise of Gooch and his contributors and a "must-purchase" for all students of this tragic conflict.
