內容簡介

This book exposes the acts of terrorism that the British soldiers used against Boer civilians in order to destroy the two Boer Republics during ANGLO BOER WAR II. When diamonds and gold were discovered, England forgot about the Conventions signed to give the Boer Republics sovereignty, and sent 450,000 troops against an entire population of less than 200,000 souls. Despite fighting against a Boer army that could never have more than 20,000 fighting men (mostly farmers that would take up the weapon), England's soldiers could not win on the battlefield. So, England defied the Hague Convention and sent troops to terrorise the local Boer people by burning farms, food, livestock and churches. Defenseless Boer women, children, the sick, elderly and disabled were sent by railway trucks meant for animals to more than 30 concentration camps in South Africa, and deliberately starved. Boer children had their already meagre rations halved whenever England lost on the battlefield. The pain of dying such a death is clearly illustrated. The Boers had to surrender. England's soldiers won by fighting against the weak, not against soldiers. The great culprits in this action, Queen Victoria, her son, and Lord Kitchener are portrayed in a collage together with Lizzie van Zyl, one of the victims. The book offers affidavits from concentration camp survivors, translated from Dutch to English, as well as appraisals from a forensic / psychological point of view. It includes a letter to Mr Obama, on his visit to Buchenwald, when he asked: "How did we get here?" In the final appendix, it is pointed out how well America treated the Saudi's upon the discovering of oil, and how, by contrast, the British set out to destroy the Boer people upon the discovery of diamonds and gold. The section on the history of South Africa asserts that, if it were not for the Anglo Boer War, Apartheid would never have existed, as the Black people would have had the greater part of the country to themselves. Technical points on warfare is also offered, i.e. how the British used Boer women as shields against Boer attacks - which means that Palestine, today, cannot be blamed for doing so. This book rests on the concept of terrorism as generally understood, and how England used acts of terrorism to destroy two republics. It casts a whole new light on how this war was won.
