Produktbeschreibung

Ladysmith: The Diary of a Siege is a first-hand account of the 118-day siege of Ladysmith during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The author, Henry Woodd Nevinson, was a British war correspondent who was trapped inside the besieged town along with the civilian population and British soldiers. The book describes the daily struggles of life under siege, including the shortage of food and water, the constant bombardment by Boer artillery, and the deaths and injuries caused by shelling and sniper fire. Nevinson also provides a vivid portrait of the town's inhabitants, including the soldiers, civilians, and Boer prisoners of war. Throughout the book, Nevinson conveys the sense of uncertainty and fear that pervaded the town during the siege, as well as the determination and resilience of the people who endured it. The diary offers a unique perspective on a key moment in South African history and the British Empire's efforts to maintain control over the region.
