This important new book tells the harrowing story of the Eighth Frontier War against the Xhosa people of the Eastern Cape, often from the viewpoint of those actually doing the fighting. It was the longest of those wars and it was to be followed by the Ninth, and last in 1877-8.
By that time there remained little of the Xhosa lands which they had once called their own, the extent of which had been eroded after almost every war.
