The "Dictionary of Battles" was originally compiled by Thomas Benfield Harbottle around the turn of the century, and has been updated to include all twentieth-century military operations from the Boer Wars through Vietnam. It also includes the sieges, raids, and relatively minor actions of important wars, as these tactical moves often led to the main battles. Each entry provides this essential data: the war or campaign of which the battle was a part; the date it began; who commanded how many men on each side; the tactics and sometimes the weapons employed; who won; the casualties; and where it could be determined, the ultimate outcome. The entries have been cross-referenced to indicate other associated battles, where appropriate.

"The devastating war that raged on the South African veldt between 1899 and 1902 -- the first of the 20th century wars -- was small in comparison with the world wars. Yet it reveals many facets of military, political, and social issues. The conflict between the British Empire and the Boer settlers was in ways a precursor to what was to come. It saw vast changes in the organization, tactics, and weapons used by the British Army; had far-reaching effects on the white political structure in the country; and stimulated Afrikaner nationalism, which might partly explain the introduction of apartheid. Historical dictionary of the Anglo-Boer war presents the history of this conflict -- also known as "the South African War", "the Boer War", and "the Transvaal War"--Through a chronology, introductory essay, bibliography, and more than 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries covering a wide range of military, social, cultural, and political topics"--Page 4 of cover.

Based on many years of research with regard to the Anglo-Boer War, this book is essential reading for anyone who would like to know more about the most devastating conflict that has thus far been waged between white people in Southern Africa. However, with due course, this war also involved more and more black, brown and, to some extent, Asian people.

This unique and informative dictionary explores the history, meanings, and origin of place names around the world. In over 11,000 entries it covers an enormous geographical range, including continents, countries, islands, cities, mountains, rivers, and much more. Key historical facts are incorporated into each entry, as well as a record of the place name in the local language for an accurate and comprehensive account. For this fifth edition, 134 entirely new entries have been added, including Byzantine Empire, Lac qui Parle, Nasr, Sauk City, and Yekaterinogradskaya. Existing entries have also been fully updated to reflect recent socio-political and geographical changes, most notably in Eswatini and Northern Macedonia. In addition to the entries themselves, the dictionary contains invaluable supplementary content to support the text. There is a glossary of foreign word elements which appear in place names, as well as a list of personalities and leaders who have influenced the naming of places around the world.
