He also describes the political climate of the time, the role of the Boer leaders, and the impact of the war on the people of South Africa.Throughout the book, Scoble offers his personal opinions on the events he witnessed, including his views on the Boer leaders, the British government, and the impact of colonialism on the people of South Africa. He also provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the time, including the treatment of black South Africans and the role of the mining industry.Overall, The Rise and Fall of Krugerism is a valuable historical account that offers a unique perspective on the political and social climate of South Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
