The brilliant writer Arthur Conan Doyle, as a first-hand witness and participant in the Anglo-Boer War as a military surgeon, told its story "...with limited data, but with a great desire to make everything thorough and objective". The war, the final stage of Britain's struggle to assert dominance in South Africa, introduced many new military innovations: smokeless gunpowder, machine guns, dum-dum burst bullets, the protective color khaki in soldiers' uniforms, the field telegraph, and barbed wire. It made a deep impression on his contemporaries, and Conan Doyle's book, published at the end of 1900, by 1902, had gone through eighteen editions! The venerable writer constantly added new chapters to his work and used his gift of storytelling for the benefit of the empire. Today, this book deserves the attention of all who are interested in the military and political history of the great colonial empires of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and who love the work of this great writer.
