War
Human-narrated audio
The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) is one of the most intriguing conflicts of modern history. It has been labeled many things:…
the first media war, a precursor of the First and Second World Wars, the originator of apartheid. The difference in status and resources between the superpower Great Britain and two insignificant Boer republics in southern Africa was enormous. But, against all expectation, it took the British every effort and a huge sum of money to win the war, not least by unleashing a campaign of systematic terror against the civilian population. Bossenbroek brings a completely new perspective to this chapter of South African history, critically examining the involvement of the Netherlands in the war. Furthermore, unlike other accounts, he explores the war primarily through the experiences of three men uniquely active during the bloody conflict. 2017. Uniform title: Boerenoorlog.
