Summary:
Their lifestyle of hunting for sport and profit honed the Boers' skills of field-craft, horsemanship, and marksmanship, making them a formidable force in the field and well suited to guerrilla operations. This book describes the life and combat experiences of a typical Boer in this key period. Using meticulously researched analysis and comment, and the experiences of a composite character, Johannes de Bruyn, a revealing portrait of Boer life and military operations is drawn. The actions at Laing's Neck, Majuba, the Zulu Civil War and the Second Anglo-Boer War are covered in this packed and informative treatment.

I like the illustrations	Customer Rating:
The Osprey books are great primers on specific military units. The author Ian knight is an expert on South African military history. The Boers featured here are quite fascinating. Their fighting prowess is clearly reflected here in their mobility, familiarity with the land and the Mauser rifles. The very evocative drawings by the artist nicely complements the text.
