Synopsis
Despite its title, this book is not a biography of the English Imperialist but rather an on-the-spot and personal review of the tumultuous events leading up to, during, and immediately after the South African War of 1899-1902. Basing much of her account on personal observations and interviews, the author provides a fascinating overview of many of the intrigues and personalities of the time.
