  This account of the First Boer War of 1881-1881 shows how the British army was jolted out of its complacency by the effective fire and movement tactics of the Boers and the lethal effects of modern small arms. It emphasises the many divisive political, ideological, racial, social and economic tensions in 19th-century South Africa and more.
