The brilliant writer Arthur Conan Doyle, as a direct witness and participant in the Boer War as a military surgeon, told her story "... with limited data, but with a great desire to do everything carefully and objectively." This war, being the final stage in the struggle of Great Britain for asserting dominance in South Africa, brought a lot of new things to military affairs: smokeless powder, machine guns, explosive dum-dum bullets, protective khaki in uniforms of soldiers, field telegraph, barbed wire. It made a deep impression on contemporaries, and Conan Doyle's book, published at the end of 1900, by 1902 had gone through eighteen editions! The venerable writer constantly supplemented his work with new chapters and applied his gift of storytelling to the benefit of the empire. Today, this book deserves the attention of all those who are interested in the military and political history of the era of the great colonial empires of the late XNUMXth and early XNUMXth centuries and love the work of this great writer.
