Summary "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. 2 (of 8)" by Louis Creswicke is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume covers the onset of the Second Boer War, detailing military engagements and the political context surrounding the conflict in Southern Africa. It aims to provide a comprehensive narrative of the events leading up to and during the conflict, capturing the sentiments of the British Empire and the experiences of the troops involved. The opening of the book sets the stage for the looming war, depicting the political climate in Britain as it responded to the Boer ultimatum. Creswicke describes the wave of nationalism and military enthusiasm that surged through Britain, leading to a significant increase in enlistment amongst soldiers and volunteers eager to serve the Empire. As tensions escalated, events in South Africa unfolded with refugees fleeing to safety and British troops mobilizing amidst increasing provocations from Boer forces, foreshadowing the brutal military engagements that would soon erupt. The initial chapters vividly portray the anticipation and preparation for war, coupled with the complexities of international relations and the diverse compositions of forces on both sides.
