Du Cane, Col. Herbert, tr. War in South Africa. **$4. Dutton.
An authorized translation of the German official account of the war in South Africa. Following a four part narrative of the war’s events is a “Tactical retrospect” of the conflict “in which are considered the skill of the Boers in the employment of their weapons, the defects of their methods of fighting, ‘innocuous’ bombardments, misapplied manoeuvres, the ‘essence’ of war, the difficulties confronting the offensive, the essential need for mental development.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Colonel DuCane’s translation of the German history has its place marked in the library of all soldiers who study their profession in a serious manner.”
