1 in stock
Description
'The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Effects' is J. A. Hobson’s contemporary analysis of the Second Anglo-Boer War, published in 1900 while the conflict was still underway. Drawing on Hobson’s experience as a journalist in South Africa in 1899, the book examines the political and economic tensions surrounding the Transvaal, the Uitlander question, Johannesburg, and the British imperial interests involved in the conflict. Hobson places particular emphasis on the influence of mining interests and international finance, presenting the war through a strongly critical analysis of British imperial policy. The work is an important contemporary source for understanding the political and economic arguments surrounding the outbreak of the war.
