About this book

The Great Boer War is a non-fiction work on the Boer War by Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in 1900. By the end of the war in 1902 the book had been published in 16 editions, constantly revised by Doyle. It is an authorative and thorough account. The book was compiled with as much accuracy as was possible at the time and contained as much detail as a single volume permitted. These editions are facsimile prints and may contain some formatting errors or lack of graphical clarity. Some images may have been replaced or removed from original manuscript.
