The Anglo-Boer War: 1899-1902
Bill Nasson
Flaptekst
This book will be available through us from January/February 2011.
When historian Bill Nasson describes battle scenes from the Anglo-Boer War, it is as if you can hear the bullets fly past. Nasson provides a gripping overview of the war and integrates the military, political and social dimensions of a war that continues to fascinate.
The book was first commissioned by Arnold for their 'Modern Wars' series and published in the UK in 1999, but never published locally. This expanded and updated edition draws on new scholarly writing since the centenary of the war. Nasson explores how the Anglo-Boer War shaped South Africa’s future and how it has come to be remembered in a post-apartheid South Africa.
Bill Nasson taught and researched history at the University of Cape Town for more than two decades. He is presently Professor of History at the University of Stellenbosch and has held visiting fellowships at the University of Cambridge, the Australian National University, Yale University and the University of Illinois.
A historian of modern South Africa who specialises in the history of war, Nasson has also published widely in other fields, including politics and oral history. He is a past editor of The Journal of African History. His other books include Abraham Esau’s War (1991), Britannia’s Empire (2004), and Springboks on the Somme (2007).
Recensie
Praise for the first edition:
“Vivid . . . his ability to drop down in the middle of a battle. He can even turn statistics back into reality.”
- Times Literary Supplement
“Magnificent and fresh” - The Independent
