Despatches from the front

Recently, I have been enjoying a re-read of THE BOER WAR, by Thomas Packenham.To my mind, it is absolutely the best-researched, most thorough, account of the Anglo-Boer War.

Hello Paul

Is this book any good?

Just read the Introduction on Amazon, oh dear! I hope that the authors don't write anymore and just let the despatches speak for themselves.

Hello Meurig,

The first chapters are a history of the village at the time.
The book then concentrates on the men of the village that went to fight in the war, dedicating a chapter to each man.
I have started to read and find it a good source of local history.

Meurig,

The book does concentrate on original untouched despatches as far as I can see.
BTW I only paid a couple of pounds for it in a charity shop
