Origin of the Anglo-Boer War Revealed (2nd ed.) The Conspiracy of the 19th Century Unmasked

Origin of the Anglo-Boer War Revealed (2nd ed.) by C. H. Thomas pulls back the curtain on the tangled politics and alleged machinations that the author charges led to the outbreak of the Boer War. Written by a Transvaal resident and former Orange Free State burgher, Thomas presents a contemporary, contentious account alleging a conspiracy by the Afrikaner Bond and other instigators to provoke conflict for political advantage. Part polemic, part historical polemics, the book examines late-19th-century South African tensions—British imperial interests, Boer nationalism, Dutch influences, and the fragile promises that unraveled into war. Thomas offers eyewitness perspectives, claims about culpable actors, and commentary intended to vindicate the duped and mitigate punishment of ordinary Boers. Interspersed are practical observations on Boer society and guidance aimed at emigrants and the uninitiated, all framed within the author’s urgent bid for conciliation and historical reckoning. Ideal for readers of history, politics, and war stories, this audiobook will appeal to students of the Anglo-Boer War, researchers of imperial-era conspiracies, and listeners who value primary-source arguments from contemporaries. Listen to gain a provocative, period voice on one of South Africa’s most controversial conflicts and the forces that purportedly set it in motion.
