Compiled by the author while serving as a medical doctor in Bloemfontein, the book starts by covering the origin of the Boer republics, and their dealings with the British and other emigrants on the Rand which laid the foundation of the casus belli. From there it moves onto a fast-moving and factual account of the various battles and campaigns which saw initial British defeats turned into rapid advances into the Boer heartlands. An expected quick Boer surrender never materialised, and the conflict devolved into a hard-fought guerrilla war which saw nearly twice as many British troops deployed into the Boer republics as the latter's entire population: men, women, and children combined. This is a riveting story which has lost none of its drama in the past century, and a conflict whse reverberations can still be felt to the present day.

His father fought for the Royalists during the French Revolution while his uncle supported the Republicans. Napoleon seized control of France and proclaimed himself Emperor 13 years later.

Set in Napoleon's time, it includes a Frenchman getting back to his local land to join the Ruler's positions.
