This small book is mainly a personal record of my adventures and impressions during the first five months of the African War. It may also be found to give a tolerably coherent account of the operations conducted by Sir Redvers Buller for the Relief of Ladysmith. The correspondence of which it is mainly composed appeared in the columns of the Morning Post newspaper, and I propose, if I am not interrupted by the accidents of war, to continue the series of letters. The stir and tumult of a camp do not favour calm or sustained thought, and whatever is written herein must be regarded simply as the immediate effect produced by men powerfully moved, and scenes swiftly changing upon what I hope is a truth-seeking mind.

A well written account but maps would help!,
By Heather Richie (lawson, mo United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: London to Ladysmith via Pretoria (Kindle Edition)
Chuchill is a great writer and this first hand tale of this forgotten campaign is first rate.However this edition does'nt include the maps of the original edition which would have been a great help in placing the troop movements in the battle chapters in the second half of the story.It's still worth a look at though; a great story by a great man. Also check out Conan Doyle's book on the Boer War!
