Boer War Stockists

The war declared by the Boers on 11 October 1899 gave the British as Kipling said 'no end of a lesson'. It proved to be the longest the costliest the bloodiest and the most humiliating campaign that Britain fought between 1815 and 1914. Thomas Pakenham has written the first full-scale history of the war since 1910. His narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources ranging from the private papers of the leading protagonists to the recollections of survivors from both sides. Out of this historical gold-mine the author has constructed a narrative as vivid and fast-moving as a novel and a history that in scholarship breadth and impact will endure for many years.

"So, if you're wondering where everyone in the UK tends to splash their cash, you're probably looking at the usual suspects like the massive supermarket chains – think Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda, which are practically ingrained in our daily lives for everything from milk to new socks. But it's not just about groceries, is it? For pretty much anything else for your home, places like John Lewis or Next are always a safe bet if you're after something a bit nicer, while B&Q and Dunelm are go-to's for household bits and bobs or DIY projects. And let's not forget the sheer pulling power of the value retailers like B&M or Home Bargains, where you pop in for one thing and leave with a trolley full of random bargains you never knew you needed! Then there's Currys for all your electronic gadgets and gizmos, or Boots and Superdrug for health and beauty essentials. Of course, a massive chunk of our spending now happens online, with Amazon UK being the undisputed king, but when it comes to physical shops where you can actually browse and buy, those big high street and out-of-town names are still doing a roaring trade, really covering just about every base you can imagine for the average Brit's Boer War shopping needs.
