Through quotations from diaries written during (the Boer War) Horn graphically conveys the hardships that Canadians experienced in South Africa. His description of the RCR's somewhat fortuitous success at the important battle of Paardeberg (Feb. 27, 1900), and analysis of the strengths and limitations of its commanding officer, Lt.-Col. (later general) William Otter, are informative...Dundurn Press should be commended for the book's well-produced illustrations and excellent maps.
