The narrative focuses on Britain's reliance on a volunteer force during the prolonged Second Boer War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902. It explores the backgrounds of these volunteers, their motivations for enlistment, and the training they underwent. As the war progressed, many faced disillusionment, confronting the harsh realities of guerrilla warfare rather than the anticipated conventional battles. The book provides a detailed examination of the experiences and challenges faced by this "citizen army" in a conflict that defied initial expectations.
