An example to be followed or a warning to be avoided? The British, Boers, and guerrilla warfare, 1900-1902
This article examines the British response to the onset of guerrilla warfare launched by the Boers in March 1900. It argues that although Britain had signed the Hague Convention in July 1899, the two commanders, Lords Roberts and Kitchener, combated this unprecedented challenge with their own notions of what constituted ‘civilised warfare’ or ‘the usages of war’. They did not concern themselves with winning ‘hearts and minds’, and both commanders…
The Ambiguous Amir
In 1897, when the Pathan tribes on Britain's frontier with Afghanistan revolted, many British officials and soldiers blamed the Afghan amir Abdur Rahman for causing the trouble.

Rebellion, martial law and British civil‐military relations
All you soldiers are what we call pro‐Boer’
During the South African war, 1899–1902, the apparent inability of the British army to overcome the Boers disillusioned many of its officers, some of whom criticized various aspects of the war. The origins of this critique are traced to changes within British society caused by economic depression, which affected the landowning class from which most officers came, by urbanization and by the influx of Jewish capitalists into high society. Experienc…
