Summary "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. 7 (of 8)" by Louis Creswicke is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the guerilla warfare aspects of the Second Boer War, detailing military operations from February 1901 to May 1902 as well as the evolving peace negotiations. Creswicke offers insights into the complexities of wartime strategies and the socio-political dynamics in South Africa during this tumultuous period. The beginning of the text sets the scene for the ongoing conflict, outlining the shift in military tactics following an initial period of relative stability in the region. It describes the British forces' efforts to quell Boer raids and the impact of such guerrilla tactics on the civil and agricultural life in the Transvaal. The narrative includes details of the British military's responses, the actions of prominent Boer leaders like De Wet and Botha, and how these events shaped the broader context of the war, emphasizing the challenges of maintaining order and the environmental hardships faced by both sides.
