Lord Milner's Work in South Africa
From its Commencement in 1897 to the Peace of Vereeniging in 1902
W. Basil Worsfold, a British journalist who had lived for long periods in South Africa, published Lord Milner's Work in South Africa in 1906, drawing on information not previously made public. The book follows Alfred Milner from his appointment as High Commissioner in 1897 through the tense negotiations with President Kruger of the Transvaal, the outbreak of the South African War and the long campaign, to the Peace of Vereeniging in 1902. Worsfold writes as an admirer and defender of Milner's policy at a time when it was under heavy attack in Britain, so his account is partisan, but it sets out in detail the case made by the imperial side and the problems of a divided country. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
