Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In The Battle of Majuba Hill: A Stunning Reverse in the First Boer War, Jack Whitaker recounts the dramatic clash that shattered British confidence in southern Africa and reshaped the political future of the Transvaal. On 27 February 1881, atop a steep hill overlooking Laing's Nek, a small Bri…tish force under Major General Sir George Pomeroy Colley seized the high ground in a bold bid to break a stubborn stalemate. By afternoon, they had been driven down the slopes by determined Boer riflemen whose marksmanship, mobility, and mastery of terrain overturned imperial expectations. Drawing on official dispatches, parliamentary papers, and contemporary accounts from both sides, Whitaker reconstructs the tense night ascent, the vulnerable hours on the exposed summit, and the improvised uphill advance that turned elevation into liability. From the wind swept crest of Majuba to the political chambers of London, he traces how a single afternoon's fighting exposed the limits of professional doctrine when confronted by adaptable irregular forces. More than a study of defeat, this book examines the fragile balance between power and perception, the tactical lessons of entrenchment and skirmishing, and the reverberations that led to the Pretoria Convention and the restoration of Boer self government. It is a focused, immersive portrait of a smaller war whose consequences far exceeded its scale, a reminder that empires can be recalibrated not only by grand campaigns, but by a handful of determined men climbing a slope under an open African sky. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
