The Story Of The War In South Africa 1899-1900 is a historical account written by Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1901. The book provides a detailed description of the events that took place during the Second Boer War, which was fought between the British Empire and two Boer states, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. Mahan’s account covers the period from the outbreak of the war in October 1899 until the end of the year 1900. He describes the major battles and campaigns, including the sieges of Ladysmith, Mafeking, and Kimberley, as well as the battles of Belmont, Graspan, Magersfontein, and Spion Kop. The book also delves into the political and social context of the war, including the causes of the conflict and the role of the British and Boer governments. Mahan analyzes the military strategies and tactics used by both sides, and provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of their respective armies. Overall, The Story Of The War In South Africa 1899-1900 is a comprehensive and informative account of one of the most significant conflicts in South African history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, colonialism, and the political and social dynamics of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
