Fought in 1877-78, the Ninth War, the last of the South African frontier wars, set the seal on the relegation of the Xhosa people of the Eastern Cape to the position of workers for the colonists. This first full-length study of the war begins with a history of the Cape from the first settlement, setting the frontier wars in context, then draws on sources including official British War Office dispatches to tell the full story of the conflict.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover in new dust jacket. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. Includes bibliography, index, family trees, maps, and photo plates. xviii, 286 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The last of the nine Frontier Wars fought between 1799-1877 was in many ways a 'prequel' to the more famous Zulu War of 1879, featuring as it did many of the British regiments and personalities who were to fight at Isandlwana, as well as being the final defeat of the Xhosa people and their reduction to lowly workers for the colonists. This war saw conflict between the British authorities (the governor-general and the commander-in-chief) and the government of the Cape, leading to the dismissal of that government by Sir Bartle Frere, the Governor-General. This book has made extensive use of British Parliamentary Papers, official War Office dispatches and personal accounts and correspondence to tell the full story of this neglected yet fascinating episode of South African military history, which provides an insight into the origins of and attitudes of the principal figures in the following conflict with the Zulus.
