Secondly, the author relates the experience of battle for the British, Commonwealth and native forces under their command. The examples, quotes and descriptions are numerous without being redundant. They cover all scale of actions from small skirmishes to the major battles of the Great Boer War, which is covered in it's own chapter.
Finally the experience of being on campaign is covered. Again, these range from small operations of short duration to large scale campaigns. As with the battle descriptions, the quotes and descriptions are wide ranging and interesting.
The book is supplied with many photos spread throughout and there are a few maps, although the latter aren't really comprehensive, but merely adequate. Overall it's a superb one volume introduction to the period. ( )
