About This Item
New York: Sarpedon Publishers, 1993. 286 pages. Ex-library. Foxing, soiling along page edges. Corners on front and back covers clipped. First published in 1929. Discovery of diamonds and gold in the Boer territory of the Transvaal whetted British greed for power, wealth and territories; vicious and inhumane tactics were implemented of throwing women and children into concentration camps, while burning crops and destroying Boer property. "...Wealthy industrialists such as Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit, and Julius Wernher began orchestrating British policy to eliminate Boer self-rule..." "When Alfred Milner, a noted believer in 'Empire', became governor of the British Cape Colony, he became the prime mover in persuading the British government and public that all peoples involved would be better served if the British were to assume their well-practiced 'duty' of sovereignty..." Thousands of innocent women and children died while imprisoned in British concentration camps. Eighty percent of them were children.. Soft Cover. Fair to Good. British Colonial Terrorism.
