These were calamitous blows, struck not only at an immense British Army but - as the old century passed into the new - at Victorian prestige, assumptions and complacency."

Subtitle: Eyewitness Accounts from the South African War Editor: Edward Spiers Publisher: Jonathan Ball () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 192 Dimensions: 23.4 x 15.8 x 1.8 cm +++ Edited by Edward Spiers +++ Edward Spiers, a leading authority on the Victorian British army, presents a selection of letters from the siege of Ladysmith (). These 250 letters, which were published in different British newspapers, provide crucial insights into contemporary perceptions of the battles that preceded the siege, the onset of the siege itself, and the desperate and bloody attempts to relieve the town.  The letters vividly reflect the feelings of junior officers and other ranks as they struggled to cope with the demands of modern warfare. Their eyewitness testimonies provide firsthand commentary upon the events in Natal that shattered the prewar confidence in Britain.   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. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.

2010. Soft cover, 192 pages. Good, clean condition. The front cover has a small fold. Under 1kg. Edward Spiers, a leading authority on the Victorian British army, presents a selection of letters from the siege of Ladysmith (1899-1900). These 250 letters, which were published in different British newspapers, provide crucial insights into contemporary perceptions of the battles that preceded the siege, the onset of the siege itself, and the desperate and bloody attempts to relieve the town.  The letters vividly reflect the feelings of junior officers and other ranks as they struggled to cope with the demands of modern warfare.

1963. First edition. Hard cover with dust cover; 312 pages.  Very good condition. Rust spots in front and back and on a few pages inside. The dust cover has wear and tear. Name inscriptions. Tightly bound and clean inside.  Under 1kg. Buller's Campaign is a powerful and invaluable reassessment of the life of General Buller and of the part he played in British military history. Beginning with his struggle for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Army in 1895, it goes on to portray his role in the Boer War, and on its path, reveals many of the Victorian Imperialist attitudes of the day. A man of numerous failures, General Buller has been treated unkindly by history but Symons here seeks to paint a more rounded picture.

A pair of British Army officer's twisted gold bullion braid shoulder straps/epaulette with off-white / khaki backing. The gold has tarnished to a silver colour, but the original gold colour can be seen where the rank pips were removed. Not sure if these are Victorian/Boer War or WW1/WW2 era.
