DESCRIPTION
A study of military history, Herbert W Wilson explores the Boer War, these volumes looking at the years of 1899-1900. A collection of two volumes of four, with the second volume of 'With the Flag to Pretoria,' and the first volume of its supplement 'After Pretoria: The Guerilla War.'
The Boer Wars were a significant part of South African history, as it shaped the country as we know it today. With the peace treaty in 1902, the British and Boers were brought together in an uneasy alliance, allowing the formation of a unified South Africa.
Two first editions published in 1901 and 1902.
With the Flag to Pretoria: A History of the Boer War of 1899-1900, volume two, covering the history of the war from the siege of Kimberley to the advance of Komati Poort. With the final chapters sharing some lessons of the war.
The supplement, After Pretoria: The Guerilla War, details the events that occurred after the capture of Pretoria, from the Bethlehem Campaign of 1900 to the concentration camps and the loyal refugees, 1899-1901.
Each volume is richly illustrated in black and white in text as well as a folding map to the supplement. With a frontispiece per book.
