8vo; original blue boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xiii + (i) + 274, incl. index; plates; maps. Short, closed tear to top edge of dustwrapper's lower panel; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper; a little foxing. Very good condition. "The Boer War (1899-1902) witnessed the professionals of the British Army pitted against the gifted amateurs who led the Boer commandos. For the Boers, it was a struggle for their independence; for Britain, an attempt once and for all to assert her political supremacy in South Africa. While sheer weight of numbers and ruthless tactics eventually secured a British military victory, the extraordinary Boer effort won respect worldwide. The Boer War Generals is an in-depth study of the principal commanders on both sides, in a conflict that was both 'the last of the gentlemen's wars' and the first modern one. . Peter Trew's detailed narrative examines each personality separately, highlighting the differences between the command styles of the experienced, professional British generals and the natural ingenuity of the 'amateur' Boers. Fully illustrated with photographs and maps, this book provides a compelling insight into a war that provoked strong feelings not just from the protagonists, but across the world.".…

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
