""Britain and the Boers: Who is Responsible for the War in South Africa?"" is a historical book written by Lewis Appleton in 1899. The book focuses on the events leading up to the Second Boer War, which took place between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa. Appleton examines the political and economic factors that contributed to the war, including British imperialism, the discovery of gold and diamonds in South Africa, and tensions between the Boer republics and the British colonial government. The author also explores the role of key figures such as Cecil Rhodes and Paul Kruger in shaping the conflict. The book provides a critical analysis of the actions of both sides and asks the question of who bears responsibility for the outbreak of war. The author's perspective is informed by his own experiences as a journalist and correspondent in South Africa during the war. Overall, ""Britain and the Boers"" is a valuable historical account of a significant conflict that shaped the course of South African history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
