About 8000 Canadians fought in South Africa, about one-third came from the militia and the rest were paid by government officals.The British victory in the Second Boer War was secured through the use of "scorched earth" tactics, including the use of concentration camps and forced Labour.Scarce early title 8vo 318pp plus 10 page publisher's catalogue at rear of book First Edition.

Military Rule in Ireland

Dublin, The Talbot Press, 1920. F Second Edition Revised. A very good copy in the original printed wrappers, extremities worn, text browned as usual. Extremely scarce. Robert Erskine Childers DSC (25 June 1870 – 24 November 1922), universally known as Erskine Childers] was the author of the influential novel Riddle of the Sands and an Irish nationalist, who was executed by the authorities of the nascent Irish Free State during the Irish Civil War. In 1920 Childers published Military Rule in Ireland, a strong attack on British policy. In 1921 he was elected (unopposed) to the Second Dáil as Sinn Féin member for Wicklow and published the pamphlet Is Ireland a Danger to England?, which attacked the British prime minister, David Lloyd George. He became editor of the Irish Bulletin after the arrest of Desmond FitzGerald.
