1974 Thank God We Kept The Flag Flying Boer War Military History Book K Griffith

Thank God We Kept The Flag Flying - The Siege And Relief Of Ladysmith 1899-1900
By Kenneth Griffith
Published by The Viking Press: New York 1974 1st Edition

"Thank God We Kept the Flag Flying by Kenneth Griffith is a vivid and impassioned account of the Boer War, told through the experiences of those who lived and fought during the conflict. Drawing on diaries, letters, and personal testimonies, Griffith reconstructs the voices of soldiers, civilians, and political leaders on both the British and Boer sides. His narrative highlights the courage and suffering of individuals caught in the struggle, while also exposing the brutality, moral ambiguities, and far-reaching consequences of the war.

More than a conventional military history, the book is infused with Griffith's own fascination for the period and his ability to humanize historical figures. By weaving personal stories into the broader political and military context, he captures the emotional intensity of the war and its legacy in shaping South African identity. The title itself reflects a spirit of resilience amidst devastation, making the work both a commemoration of sacrifice and a reflection on the costs of empire and nationalism."
