When the Boer War broke out in South Africa in 1899, Conan Doyle was already a hugely successful, middle-aged writer. Nevertheless, he was determined to see the war at first hand. Unable to secure a place as a regular soldier, he fell back on his medical training and was accepted by the British army as a doctor in a field hospital. Based in part on the first-hand accounts he received from wounded soldiers, Conan Doyle constructed a history of the war which he first published in 1900 and continued to edit and re-publish until the war ended in 1902. Documenting both the military campaign and the political background to the conflict, The Great Boer War is fascinating both as a piece of history and as a glimpse into another facet of the author most commonly known for his mystery stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akasha Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46884520853655,"sku":"9781605124384","price":2338.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781605124384.webp?v=1770243793","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-great-boer-war-9781605124384","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
