Omschrijving

Rights and Wrongs of the Transvaal War is a book written by Edward Tyas Cook in 1902. The book is a critical examination of the Second Boer War, which took place between 1899 and 1902 in South Africa. Cook was a journalist and editor for The Daily News, and he was known for his progressive views on politics and social issues.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical background of the conflict, including the events leading up to the war and the military strategies employed by both sides. Cook also examines the political and economic motivations behind the war, including the desire for control over the valuable gold and diamond mines in the region.The second part of the book is a critique of the war and its aftermath. Cook argues that the war was unjust and unnecessary, and that the British government and military were guilty of numerous atrocities and violations of international law. He also criticizes the treatment of the Boer prisoners of war and the forced relocation of civilians to concentration camps, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of people.Overall, Rights and Wrongs of the Transvaal War is a powerful and thought-provoking analysis of a controversial and often overlooked conflict in British history. Cook's passionate defense of human rights and his condemnation of war and imperialism continue to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
