Description
‘Scapegoats of the Empire’ — Lieutenant George R. Witton In this controversial account of the Second Boer War, George R. Witton recounts his involvement in the case of the Bushveldt Carbineers and the execution of Lieutenants Peter Handcock and Harry Morant in 1902. Witton, who was also convicted and sentenced to death before his sentence was commuted, argues that the men were made scapegoats by British military authorities. The book offers a personal and disputed perspective on one of the war’s most debated military justice cases, reflecting Witton’s own experiences and grievances.
