The Anglo Boer War In Colour, Vol 2 - Le Roux,T - (New Copy)
More scenes and role players in the drama of the Anglo Boer War (1899-1902), one of the greatest conflicts fought on South African soil, are brought to life in this unique collection of coloured photographs. As in the first volume, they not only offer a visual image of the period, but give insight into the harsh realities and misery of the war.
This volume covers the guerrilla war effort from 1900 to 1902 and shows Boer forces in the field, the Cape raids, train wreckers and executions, while the British forces are depicted in striking photographs of camp life, artillery, blockhouses and armoured trains. Dramatic images show the tragedy of the scorched-earth policy and conditions in he concentration camps. The activities of the Boer prisoners of war are captured poignantly, after which the peace process and intriguing facts on the aftermath of the war are highlighted
Readers will recognise many iconic images, but there are also photographs never published before. This series, the frst of its kind in South Africa, brings a fresh perspective to the war and reconstructs it into a living history.
