Item description from seller

Authors' signed presentation inscription to title page. 240 x 168 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 239 + (i), incl index; illustrations. Wrappers very slightly creased; occasional fox spot. Good to very good condition. "Commandant Gideon Scheepers and the Search for His Grave commemorates the manner of Scheepers' passing and the mystery that followed. This book documents his early life and career in the Orange Free State as a heliographer, his war record and final year in the Cape Colony. Using both new material and previously published sources, his own voice rings out again as he documents his surrender, trial and execution. Written for the centenary of the Anglo-Boer War, this book tries to understand something of the times and the 'victory at any price' attitude that ruled both sides during that conflict.".
