Publisher's Synopsis

""The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct"" is a non-fiction book written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous author of the Sherlock Holmes series. The book was first published in 1902, during the Second Boer War, and provides a detailed account of the causes and conduct of the war.In the book, Doyle argues that the war was caused by the aggressive policies of the British government and the greed of the mining companies in South Africa. He also criticizes the conduct of the war, particularly the use of concentration camps by the British army, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Boer women and children.Doyle's book is based on his personal experiences as a correspondent for the Daily Mail during the war, as well as his own research and interviews with key figures on both sides of the conflict. The book is well-researched and provides a comprehensive overview of the war, including its political, economic, and social aspects.Overall, ""The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct"" is an important historical document that sheds light on a significant event in British and South African history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Boer War, colonialism, or the history of South Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
