The Boer war - Pakenham Thomas

Popis knihy:

Thomas Pakenham has written the first full-scale documentary history of the war to be attempted since 1910. His narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources. He has combed the original British documents in the Public Record Office and the material in South African archives. He has traced the private papers of most of the protagonists. Finally, he has tape-recorded the memories of over fifty survivors from both sides.
The war declared by the Boers on II October 1899 gave the British no end of a lesson. The public expected it to be over by Christmas. It proved to be the longest, the costliest, the bloodiest and the most humiliating war that Britain fought between 1815 and 1914... väčší formát, v angličtine, tvrdá väzba, obal, 659 strán.
