Looking for a book recommendation on the Boer War. I know very little about the war, so I'm looking for a broad overview, before I start diving into some specific aspect of the war.
Thanks

I can highly recommend the movie Breaker Morant as the best movie on the Boer War. It is based on the book Scapegoats of the Empire by George Witton one of the accused Commandos who wasn't executed.

I haven't read any but I hear that Thomas Pakenham's book is the gold standard (wonder if he is an ancestor of the guy killed in the Battle of New Orleans).

Interestingly I was in the UK a few months ago checking out Plymouth's monument to the Boer War and nearby was there Zulu War monument that the UK SJWs have made them box up and build an 8 foot tall wooden fence around it... It's not just Confederate monuments folks.
