The Boer War in Colour

Our Book

Our Book

The Boer War in Colour presents a striking collection of colourised photos from one of the biggest conflicts on South African soil. The Boer War (1899–1902) pitted the two Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State against the might of the British Army. This volume covers the conventional phase of the war, from October 1899 to September 1900. The photos show the Boer incursions into Natal and the Cape Colony, the sieges of Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking, and major battles such as Elandslaagte, Magersfontein and Paardeberg. There are richly detailed images of life on campaign and in camp, of gunners in action and infantrymen on the march. Alongside stern-faced burghers are musicians, nurses and prisoners-of-war. All have been infused with vivid colour. The Boer War in Colour contains many iconic photos from the war, as well as previously unpublished images. This will be the first book to show the conflict in full colour – providing a fresh perspective and transforming it into living history. 264 x pages (Photo Quality) 411 x photographs in colour 2 x campaign maps Published by Jonathan Ball (Naspers)
