Black People and the South African War, 1899-1902 by Peter Warwick tells of the South African War which was fought in a region populated by five million people, four million of which were black. This is the first history of the war to focus upon the wartime experiences of black people, and to examine the war in the context of a complex and rapidly changing colonial society increasingly shaped, but not yet transformed, by mining capital.
