About This Item
(London: Osprey, 1979) 0850453127. Small 4to; original blue boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 224, incl. index; maps; reproductions of contemporary photographs and artwork. Trace of very light foxing. Very good condition. "This epic siege, which lasted from October 1899 to early March 1900, and the story of the battles to bring about Ladysmith's eventual relief, is the theme of this enthralling book. Utilizing much hitherto unpublished information from contemporary sources in both Britain and South Africa, Ruari Chisholm tells the complete story of the campaign. He sees it not only as a military affair, consisting of battles, bombardments, attacks and counter attacks, but also a case study of human behaviour, Boer and British, soldier and civilian." .
