Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair - Slight Tears, Crease. Third Impression. Inside cover flap reads: The Battle of Majuba Hill in 1881 may be accounted the most humiliating defeat in British military history. The Transvaal Boers (an army of deerstalkers) stormed an apparently impregnable position inflicting heavy casualties on the regular British troops with little damage to themselves. Dr Ransford describes the events, both political and military, that led up to the engagement including the last use of redcoats in action, and makes a fascinating study of General Colley's extraordinary handling of the bat tle. The Majuba campaign, revealing as it does the ineptitude of contemporary mili tary thinking, is carefully fitted into the context of nineteenth century southern Africa and the battle itself is shown to have influenced history out of all proportion to the numbers engaged. The author's familiarity with the 'Hill of Destiny' and the surrounding country enables him to re create and analyse the campaign in a remarkable way. ---------------------------------------- 154 pages ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
