With Buller in Natal, Or, a Born Leader
1901
It's 1899, and Johannesburg is a powder keg. President Kruger has issued his ultimatum to Britain, and the Boer forces are massing on the borders. For Chris King and his father, the tension is unbearable: they're British subjects trapped in a city where Boer suspicion of the 'Uitlander' population grows more poisonous by the day. When war finally erupts, Chris doesn't wait for rescue. He gathers a band of daring lads from Johannesburg and heads into the chaos of Natal, where the British forces are battling to hold back the Boer advance. What follows is a boy's-eye view of a complicated war: the skirmishes, the sieges, the desperate battles where courage and luck mean the difference between life and death. Chris transforms from anxious son into a born leader, learning that war demands more than bravery. Written by the era's master of adventure fiction, this is historical immersion at its most visceral, filtered through the restless energy of youth.
