A Century of Postgraduate Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) Studies: Masters’ and Doctoral Studies Completed at Universities in South Africa, in English-Speaking Countries and on the European Continent 1908–2008 by André Wessels is an important specialist reference work examining a century of postgraduate academic research into the Anglo-Boer War, also widely known as the South African War.
Published by SUN PRESS in 2010, this first edition brings together information on masters’ and doctoral studies dealing with the 1899–1902 conflict. Wessels surveys postgraduate research undertaken at universities throughout South Africa, English-speaking countries and continental Europe, providing an exceptionally useful guide to the extensive scholarly literature generated by this pivotal period in Southern African history.
Rather than presenting another conventional narrative history of the war, the book serves as a bibliographical and historiographical research resource. It is particularly relevant to historians, postgraduate students, military history researchers, genealogists and collectors seeking information on specialised aspects of the conflict. The breadth of postgraduate research represented demonstrates the continuing international academic interest in the Anglo-Boer War long after the conclusion of hostilities.
Professor André Wessels is a respected South African historian whose research has extensively covered the Anglo-Boer War and military history. This particular copy has additional collectable appeal as it is signed by André Wessels on the title page and dated 11 October 2024.
An excellent specialist addition to an Africana, Anglo-Boer War, South African history or military history collection.
