[ChurchillChat] Re: NEW BOOK BY ANDREW ROBERTS

Michael Barthorp calls it "The Anglo-Boer War" and this is probably the most historically correct term as both sides did their darndest to keep the black population out of the conflict.  When I was living in Britain, WWI was always referred to as "the Kaiser's War" and WWII "Hitler's War".  Call a spade a spade.

I take it that you are able to provide real evidence of planned and consistent British aggression aimed specifically at Boer women and children.

Just to let you know, it is now known as the South African war and not as the Anglo-Boer war or the very Apartheid era term “Boer war”.
