Not sure I'm in the right place on the forum, but here's hoping! I have collected a few QSA's, but I'm increasingly realising how little I really know about the Boer War. What books would members recommend for an overview of the war and for specific actions?

Thanks

Patrick

Good Evening Patrick......

Suggest you look at this thread.....

angloboerwar.com/forum/13-miscellany/342...-and-recommendations

also......

On your left there is the heading books you can actually read some of the books there in line......

Patrick,

Picking up Mike's comment, there are 70 full text books on the site. If you prefer to read paper-based accounts there are some good general accounts such as by Packenham.

Sounds like an ideal Christmas present?

Best wishes

Thanks both

Talk about missing the blindingly obvious!

Yes, Christmas present suggestions to the family are a strong possibility!

Regards

Patrick

Easily done.

Hope you receive some excellent Xmas presents!

Best wishes

Bill Nasson - the South African War is pretty good shout as well.
