Considering the premise of the 1 – hour series, this book more than delivers. Aside from distilling a somewhat chaotic set of campaigns into a comprehensible framework, this is one of the first works I’ve read that tries to address the role of black South Africans in the conflict. Do be aware that this volume only addresses the Second Boer War, although it does provide enough synopsis of the First Boer War to understand some of the causative factors.
