Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the lead-up to the Boer War by examining the machinations of Kruger and the Boer leaders who instigated the conflict. The book discusses the political climate of the time, and the influence of foreign powers, alongside the role of mining interests and the corruption at the heart of the Boer government. The author reveals the true nature of Boer leadership, contrasting the public image they projected against their private machinations. The book presents a balanced perspective that exposes the Boer leadership's systematic deception and oppression of the Outlander population. It questions the motivations of the Boer ruling class and presents the war as avoidable.
