This is a mint-condition first edition of The Boer War, the 1979 masterpiece by the British historian Thomas Pakenham. First editions of this book are rare—and expensive.
This war, declared by the Boers on 11 October 1899, gave the British, as Kipling said, 'no end of a lesson'. It was the longest, costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating campaign fought by Britain 1815 and 1914.
Thomas Pakenham's narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources ranging from the private papers of the leading protagonists to the taped recollections of survivors from both sides. It is mammoth in scope and scholarship, as well as vivid, fast-moving and breathtakingly compelling.
The Boer War is the definitive account of this extraordinary conflict - a war precipitated by greed and marked by almost inconceivable blundering and brutalities.
659 pages including 200+ illustrations, photographs, and maps.
10" x 7" and 3 ½ lbs.
The dust jacket, which is sepiatone anyway, has some darkening to the edges and a tiny amount of shelfwear.
The book is pristine.
