Blood And Gold In South Africa: An Answer To Dr. Conan Doyle is a book written by George Herbert Perris in 1902. The book aims to provide a counter-argument to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s justification of the British Empire’s involvement in the Second Boer War. Perris examines the political and economic factors that led to the war, including the discovery of gold and diamonds in South Africa, and the desire of British colonialists to control the region’s resources. He also critiques the British government’s tactics during the war, including the use of concentration camps and scorched-earth policies.The book is a passionate defense of the Boer people and their struggle for independence, and it argues that the British Empire’s actions in South Africa were motivated by greed and imperialism rather than a desire to spread civilization and democracy.Overall, Blood And Gold In South Africa is a thought-provoking historical analysis that challenges traditional narratives of British colonialism and highlights the complexities of the Second Boer War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
