PhilB Posted 31 March , 2009 Share Posted 31 March , 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1900-BOER-WAR-BRITIS...A1%7C240%3A1318 This book, currently on ebay, purports to be a whistle blowing attack on staff officers of the Boer War and their part in battle failures. I include it here because the staff officers of the Boer War became the command staffs of WW1. I have no connection with the seller and have never seen the book before. Does anyone know anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 31 March , 2009 Author Share Posted 31 March , 2009 Sounds like the book was highly critical. The author was Capt W E Cairnes. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/...9609C946397D6CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Will Posted 31 March , 2009 Share Posted 31 March , 2009 You can read or download it at google book search: http://books.google.com/books?id=EbsoAAAAY...amp;output=html For those who aren't aware, this and Internet Archive are great (free!) sources for books published before 1930 (i.e. expired copyrights).
