Why are Anglo-Boer War books so widely collected? The South African War of 1899 to 1902 left a vast and enduring literature, and it remains one of the most active fields in Africana collecting. Buyers seek first-hand accounts like Deneys Reitz's Commando, Thomas Pakenham's landmark history The Boer War, regimental and unit histories, contemporary memoirs, and campaign narratives covering Ladysmith, Spion Kop, Colenso and the wider Natal front on Midlands Books' doorstep.
This category brings together second-hand and rare Boer War titles held at our shop in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands: histories, biographies, memoirs, and illustrated works spanning both the British and Boer perspectives, from common reading copies to scarce first editions and signed volumes. Interest in the war reaches well beyond books into the wider world of memorabilia. For a sense of how that collecting culture works, see our piece on three-handled Anglo-Boer War mugs and why collectors want them.
