(Subject: Colonial & Other Wars ) This book is based on contemporary sources and uses previously unused archive material to analyse the reasons for such disasters as Spion Kop and the Siege of Ladysmith. The author examines the roles of Redvers Henry Buller, Sir Charles Warren, Sir George White and Sir Frederick Sleigh 'Bobs' Roberts, and looks at the reasons for the delay in the British victory and the high cost of the war.
