"At the end of the Boer War in 1902 every state in Southern Africa was either a Crown Colony or governed by a Ministry well disposed towards the imperial connection. It seemed then that imperial influence would be restored. The loss of the Transvaal, however, decisively diminished British power in the subcontinent and Dr Denoon seeks to establish why this power declined from its apparently dominant position of 1902 to its parlous state in 1905. This book is an examination of the aftermath of the war, the period of reconstruction, during which the imperial authorities suffered a series of political reverses which proved to be of crucial importance for the future course of South African history."
