The Boer War and Military Reforms [Hardcover]

Jay Stone (Author), Erwin A. Schmidl (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0819166529 | ISBN-13: 978-0819166524 | Publication Date: February 18, 1988

This volume contends that the Boer War had a far greater impact upon British military reform than previously appreciated. The study concludes that had there not been the Boer War then quite possibly the First World War might have turned out differently. To support this judgment the Boer War is itself examined in terms of its impact on numerous and diverse fields of military concern.
