Produktbeschreibung
While the Second Boer War and its concentration camps resulted in intense reactions, some criticised war-related issues have been misrepresented. Then-contemporary British individuals and the British media distorted them to mitigate British responsibility and in addition to this, a group of historians discredited Afrikaner sources due to their political relevance. It seems that the 20th century did not conclude the debate over the true nature of the event.
