This book tells the story of the secret service system employed by the Transvaal Republic to undermine British supremacy in South Africa. The author, who was employed by the National Bank in Pretoria, was able to access sensitive documents and witness first-hand the operations of the secret service and their attempts to stir up racial hatred and conflict, especially through large-scale bribery of media and politicians. These efforts culminated in the Jameson Raid and the Boer War. The text is a remarkable account of an era characterised by geopolitical intrigue and tension.
