Death Of The Last Republic – Peter Gibbs

A clear and readable historical account, *The Death of the Last Republic* chronicles the dramatic story of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). Peter Gibbs delves deeply into the political and economic origins of the conflict, arguing that the war resulted primarily from economic struggles and the manipulation of figures like Lord Milner, who defended the interests of the gold mine owners. This classic 1957 work explores the devastating end of the independent Boer Republics, offering a detailed perspective on the background and early stages of a pivotal moment in South African history.
