Summary "The Last Boer War" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the events leading up to and surrounding the Boer War, focusing on the political tensions and conflicts between the British Empire and the Boer settlers in South Africa. The book examines the complexities of Boer society and government, the struggles over land and rights, and the implications of British colonial policies on these dynamics. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the historical context of the Transvaal region, detailing the arrival of the emigrant Boers and their relationships with the native tribes. It examines the initial motivations behind Boer settlement, such as dissatisfaction with British rule, alongside the resulting internal and external conflicts. This introduction sets the stage for understanding the Boer rebellion and subsequent war, alluding to the significant events and figures that shaped these turbulent times, including the impact of British decisions and Boer sentiments towards autonomy and governance. It paints a vivid picture of a region struggling with its identity and the looming question of its governance, foreshadowing the inevitable clash between the British and the Boer factions.
