Anthony Nutting traces the arc of colonial ambition from the Boer settlers' epic inland migration — the Great Trek — through the mounting tensions that culminated in the devastating Anglo-Boer War, illuminating the human stories and geopolitical forces that shaped an entire era. Written with the authority of a seasoned diplomat and historian, Nutting presents a vivid and unflinching account of empire-building, resistance, and the catastrophic consequences of unchecked imperial greed. The narrative illustrates how the collision of Boer nationalism, British expansionism, and African sovereignty set the stage for conflicts whose repercussions echoed well into the twentieth century, making this an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839389479131,"sku":"2026770001807-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/815328eb-6d35-40ae-ab09-45a1c9d5ed95.png?v=1780561376","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001807-secondhand-scramble-for-africa-the-great-trek-to-the-boer-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
