Hardcover. Condition: New. For the British Empire the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 was something of a wake up call, the Boers were unlike any adversary the British had hitherto fought and their style of warfare was similarly "unconventional". Certainly the British were used to taking the fight to their enemies but the Afrikaners had other ideas. Their "guerrilla" style tactics became a feature of the conflict as did the great sieges that have gone down in history. The siege of Mafeking and its hero Baden-Powell, is perhaps the one that is most remembered but other towns suffered too- the first one of these, in the very early stages of the war, was the diamond town of Kimberley, an important symbol of British wealth and colonial hopes. This book, looks in great detail at the siege of Kimberley, the inhabitants of the town during the time and the impact the siege had on the war as a whole. This book contains a full medal role of all those who received the "Defence of Kimberley" clasp to the Queen's South Africa Medal. A fantastic reference work on the Kimberley siege as well as the Anglo-Boer War. Pages xi + 581. HEAVY BOOK (2.7Kg), ADDITIONAL POSTAGE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS.
