"Thirty years have now passed since the ending of the South African War and the death of Cecil Rhodes, of whom three new biographies have been recently published in England. In this book, a detailed and impartial study of the published documents, Dr. Lovell attempts two things. He tells, from the human rather than the Rhodesian, the Africander, or the British point of view, the plain tale of economic imperialism in South Africa. He also traces the general European background of the competition of Boer, German, and Portuguese with British Imperialism. The Anglo-German estrangement following the Heligoland treaty of 1890 and the Mediterranean entente, and the Kruger Telegram of January, 1896, are fully discussed. Beginning, after an introductory survey, with Sir Bartle Frere and the Zulu War, with Gladstone and Majuba, the book ends with a survey of the diplomacy of the second Boer War, on which a flood of new light has been shed by the publication of the Milner Papers." - from dust-jacket blurb.

This is a concise but comprehensive history of the Boer War fought between the British and native South Africans. Here's an excerpt from the beginning of the book: "The war in South Africa has been no exception to the general rule that the origin of current events is to be sought in the history of the past, and their present course to be understood by an appreciation of existing conditions, which decisively control it. This is especially true of the matter here before us; because the southern extreme of Africa, like to that of the American continent, has heretofore lain far outside of the common interest, and therefore of the accurate knowledge, of mankind at large. The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, in themselves remote, tempestuous, and comparatively unproductive regions, for centuries derived importance merely from the fact that by those ways alone the European world found access to the shores of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The application of steam to ocean navigation, and the opening of the Suez Canal, have greatly modified conditions, by diverting travel from the two Capes to the Canal and to the Straits of Magellan. It is only within a very few years that South Africa, thus diminished in consequence as a station upon a leading commercial highway, has received compensation by the discovery of great mineral wealth. Thus separated from the rest of the world, by lack of intrinsic value as a region producing materials necessary to the common good, the isolation of South Africa was further increased by physical conditions, which not only retarded colonisation and development, but powerfully affected the character and the mutual relations of the European settlers. Portuguese mariners, after more than half a century of painful groping downward along the West African coast in search of a sea route to India that vague tradition asserted could there be found, in 1486 rounded the Cape of Good Hope, which then received the despondent name of the Cape of Storms from its first discoverer, Bartholomew Diaz."

The South African War was a costly and bitterly contested struggle. It was fought in a region populated by five million people, four million of whom were black. This is the first history of the war to focus upon the wartime experiences of black people, and to examine the war in the context of a complex and rapidly changing colonial society increasingly shaped, but not yet transformed, by mining capital. The ways in which the war influenced the lives and livelihoods of different sections of the black population are studied - from chiefs and newspaper editors to peasant farmers and artisans, to farm tenants and industrial workers. Dr Warwick shows that black people were far more than either spectators to, or passive victims of, a white man's quarrel, and presents a thorough revision of accepted views on the war. He reveals the vital roles performed by black people in both the British and Boer armies, and shows how the regular and irregular participation of blacks exercised an influence upon the course of war.

Excerpt from The Colonials in South Africa, 1899-1902: Their Record, Based on the Despatches When the Author published his 'Our Regiments in South Africa, 1899-1902, ' which gave a brief account of the work, in the war, of each regular battalion of infantry, regiment of cavalry, and battery of artillery, he remarked in the Preface that "Some account of the doings of the Colonials should, and may yet, be put together." Some reviewers, especially those interested in the Colonies, encouraged him to carry out the idea thus hinted at, and the present volume is the result of that encouragement. No attempt has been made to write a detailed account of the work of each corps, but it has been the Author's aim to give a fair idea of the value of the services of each.
