Origin of the Anglo-Boer War Revealed: The Conspiracy of the 19th Century Unmasked / (2nd ed.)
The author contends that the war stemmed from a long-running conspiracy by a Dutch coterie and the Afrikaner Bond that manipulated ordinary Boers and provoked anti‑British agitation. He surveys Boer history and prosperity, political relations with Britain, franchise disputes, the Jameson raid, armaments and alliances between Boer republics, and explores propaganda, trade rivalries, and secret operations. The work also describes climate, geography, native policy, religion, and military preparedness, aiming to identify principal instigators, to attenuate popular Boer culpability by attributing manipulation, and to recommend peace adjustments and conciliatory measures toward those affected.
