Features include:
When the Second Boer War erupted in South Africa in 1899, Great Britain was confident that victory would come quickly and decisively. Instead, the war lasted for three grueling years. To achieve final victory, the British government was forced to depend not only on its Regular Army but also on a large volunteer force. This book spotlights Britain's citizen army to show who these volunteers were, why they enlisted, how they were trained--and how they quickly became disillusioned when they found themselves committed not to the supposed glories of conventional battle but instead to a prolonged guerrilla war.
In Volunteers on the Veld, Stephen M. Miller focuses on the connection between Britain's auxiliary forces--volunteers, militia, and yeomanry--and its imperial mission during the late Victorian era, looking especially at why the British war effort came to depend on their performance. Miller examines motivations for enlistment, the use of citizen-soldiers in guerrilla warfare, and the effects of combat on the soldiers themselves, weaving together the sense of national emergency, the influence of popular culture, and images of manhood that propelled so many Britons into the ranks of volunteers.
By revisiting one of the most significant guerrilla wars of the modern age--and one of the earliest examples of the use of modern media to promote mobilization for a foreign war--Volunteers on the Veld lends fresh insight into British imperial warfare while suggesting unmistakable parallels between these citizen-soldiers and today's American volunteers in Iraq.

Hay muchas razones por las que es dif cil vivir en semejanza a Cristo en un mundo que vive como el Diablo. Para comenzar, la conducta - sea buena o mala - es contagiosa. No parece, acaso, que hay mucha m s gente mala que buena? Vivir como Cristo es, adem s, una tarea dif cil porque no siempre sabemos lo que l querr a que hici ramos. Cuando vemos televisi n, por ejemplo, en que punto desea Cristo que cambiemos de canal? Los cristianos en un mundo perverso es para cristianos sinceros que temen estar en las primeras etapas de la enfermedad conocida como conformidad a este mundo.

This book offers a detailed investigation of George S. White's career in the British Army. It explores late Victorian military conflicts, British power dynamics in Africa and Asia, civil-military relations on the fringes of the empire, and networks of advancement in the army. White served in the Indian Rebellion and, twenty years later, the Second Anglo-Afghan War, where he earned the Victoria Cross. After serving in the Sudan campaign, White returned to India and held commands during the conquest and pacification of Upper Burma and the extension of British control over Balochistan, and, as Commander-in-Chief, sent expeditions to the North-West Frontier and oversaw major military reforms. Just before the start of the South African War, White was given the command of the Natal Field Force. This force was besieged in Ladysmith for 118 days. Relieved in 1900, White was heralded as the Defender of Ladysmith. He was made Field-Marshal in 1903.
