The Great Boer War is Arthur Conan Doyles authentic and thorough account of the conflict which gripped turnofthecentury Britain. When the Boer War broke out in South Africa in 1899, Conan Doyle was already a hugely successful, middleaged writer. Nevertheless, he was determined to see the war at first hand. Unable to secure a place as a regular soldier, he fell back on his medical training and was accepted by the British army as a doctor in a field hospital. Based in part on the firsthand accounts he received from wounded soldiers, Conan Doyle constructed a history of the war which he first published in 1900 and continued to edit and republish until the war ended in 1902. Documenting both the military campaign and the political background to the conflict, The Great Boer War is fascinating both as a piece of history and as a glimpse into another facet of the author most commonly known for his mystery stories.
