Alan Chalmers has reproduced George Maidment's diary in full with only minor corrections and included his own insightful commentary. This is a fascinating and detailed account of events of the siege: the daily tedium, the fighting, the sniping, the lack of food and the disgust at having to eat their own horses.  'Of the myriad of books published for the Anglo-Boer War Centenary this is one of the best illustrated and most well written' - Meurig Jones, Victorian Military Society.    A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
