About This Item

This is a second printing of Buller's Campaign, the story of the much-decorated, and much-maligned General Sir Redvers Buller (1839-1908), also called 'Reverse Buller' because of his often questionable leadership skills and numerous mistakes and defeats. It was written by the British writer Julian Symons (1912-1994) and first published in 1963. This is the White Lion edition, published in 1974.

From a Review:

Buller's Campaign is a powerful and invaluable reassessment of the life of General Buller and of the part he played in British military history. Beginning with his struggle for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1895, it goes on to portray his role in the Boer War, and reveals many of the Victorian Imperialist attitudes of the day. A man of numerous failures, General Buller has been treated unkindly by history but Symons paints a more rounded picture. While not attempting to excuse the General's mistakes, he portrays Buller as a complex and often misunderstood character and reveals the deep ironies that surrounded so much of what he achieved. This is an exceptional book and an outstanding contribution to military history.

The dust jacket (unclipped) has some wear, as shown. There are a couple of fingerprints on the inside, otherwise, the book is in excellent condition.
