The 9th volume of the Scripta Africana series is so rare that it is not
even available in all the major libraries.
It contains the intelligence reports on the 2nd Anglo Boer War of two
American military attaches - one travelled with the Boer forces and the
other with the British. The war is, therefore seen from both sides by
highly trained observers. This makes the book highly unusual and will be
welcomed by all collectors.
'Boer War Operations' was originally published at the beginning of the
century by the US Government. Its full title was Boer Operations of the
British Army and Allied operations in China and Manchuria.
The two authors were Captain SLH Slocum of the 8th Cavalry and Capt Carl
Reichman of the 7th Infantry. Slocum linked with generals Buller and
French in SOuth Africa's Northern Natal, was at the Relief of Kimberley
and the march to Pretoria.
Reichmann's intelligence reports give one the most detailed descriptions
ever published and begins with the evolution of the Boer military system.
