Description
'Scorched Earth', edited by Fransjohan Pretorius, examines the devastating impact of the British scorched-earth policy during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902. Through contributions from historians, the book explores the destruction of farms and property, the forced removal of civilians and the establishment of concentration camps in which thousands of people, both Black and white, died. It investigates the experiences of Boer women and children, the lives of Black South Africans affected by the conflict, and the military and political decisions that shaped the war. First published by Human & Rousseau in 2001, this extensively illustrated historical volume provides a multifaceted account of one of the most traumatic periods in South African history.
