"RUSI Journal ""an interesting collection of papers"" Small Wars & Insurgencies ""a very solid contribution to the field of military studies, including civil-military politics"" "" Provides a helpful starting point for those continuing with the investigation of one of Africa""s largest and most complex military campaigns."" - Army Historical Research ""Excellent volume... a work that offers some original themes and revisions rather than presenting the same old story in different words - Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History ""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. - The Historian"
