RUSI Journal
"an interesting collection of papers"
Small Wars & Insurgencies
"a very solid contribution to the field of military studies, including civil-military politics"
" Provides a helpful starting point for those continuing with the investigation of one of Africa"s largest and most complex military campaigns."
- Army Historical Research
"Excellent volume... a work that offers some original themes and revisions rather than presenting the same old story in different words
- Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History
"a remarkable collection of essays covering neglected aspects of the Boer War... It is unusual for a work of collected papers such as this to be so uniformly excellent and informative. The Boer War is a monument to the scholarly expertise of Gooch and his contributors and a "must-purchase" for all students of this tragic conflict.
