This exciting new book marks a major shift in the study of the South African War. It turns attention from the war's much debated causes onto its more neglected consequences. An international team of scholars explores the myriad legacies of the war - for South Africa, for Britain, for the Empire and beyond. The extensive introduction sets the contributions in context, and the elegant afterword offers thought-provoking reflections on their cumulative significance.

Industry Reviews

'This volume is a must for the South Africa specialist's collection and will be of interest to many others besides.' - Andrew Porter, King's College, London, South African Historical Journal

'...a stimulating work, empirically-rooted, balanced, often ground-breaking, and essential reading for anyone wanting some solid facts and thinking about the effects of the South African war.' - Bernard Porter, English Historical Review

'...makes a compelling case that understanding the war's effects means looking beyond contemporaries' assessments...' - Laura E. Nym Mayhall, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
