On the afternoon of Monday 4 June 1900, the young State Attorney of the South African Republic bade a sad farewell to his wife and child whom he was never to see again and left Pretoria to join the Boer commandos. He had braved shot and shell to put the government's sole source of finance for the continuing war - less than half a million pounds sterling in gold and coins - on a special train to President Kruger in the Eastern Transvaal. The next day, Lord Robert's army entered the capital. Jan Smuts came to play an important role in the South African war of 1899-1902. His memoirs are recorded here, and they present an account of the critical events from the fall of Pretoria to the reorganization of the commandos in December that year.

Victorious in its previous campaigns in Africa against native armies, Britain now confronted an altogether different foe. The Boers proved to be formidable opponents, masterfully compensating for inferior numbers with grim determination, resourcefulness and strong religious faith. Their mobility, expert use of cover, and knowledge of the terrain, in which they employed powerful long-range magazine rifles, gave them initial advantages. By contrast the British suffered from inadequate transport, insufficient mounted troops and poor intelligence. Despite marshalling the immense resources of their empire, the British were to be severely tested in a war which one general described as 'the graveyard of many a soldier's reputation'.

The Boer War proved to be the longest, costliest, bloodiest and most humiliating war fought by Britain between 1815 and 1914. This reissued narrative history is based on first-hand and largely unpublished (elsewhere) sources, from both British and South African archives, as well as private papers, letters and diaries of the protagonists and soldiers of both sides, and the tape-recorded memories of over 50 survivors. Out of this abundance of information, the author has constructed a vivid narrative, writing movingly of the plight of the 100,000 black Africans who served both armies and explaining the final political victory of the Boers - how they lost the war but won the peace.
