Description
Dr Jame son’s invasion of the Transvaal in 1895 shocked the whole world. It led directly to the Boer War and left a smear on Britain’s name which many consider to be indelible.
The full story of the conspiracy has been known only in the last few years when hitherto unpublished documents became available. Lady Pakenham has also had access to private papers.
One strand of absorbing interest lies in the clash and cooperation of Rhodes and Chamberlain, and the story of this war of the Titans provides a fascinating study in political blackmail and counter blackmail.
