About this product

Product Information

In October 1899, before the outbreak of the war in South Africa, Sam Hughes, the maverick Conservative imperialist, predicted ominously that the map of Africa would be painted Empire red only through the shedding of blood. By the time the Anglo-Boer War ended in May 1902, 7,368 young soldiers and 16 nurses had sailed from Canada for South Africa. About 270 died there, killed in battle or by disease. For almost three years the Canadian public was mesmerized by the war. It affected trade, industry, transportation, fashion, discourse, literature, graphics, and music.

Reviews
"Anyone who has ever been interested in the Canadians in South Africa will be indebted to Carman Miller for the devoted and detailed research which underlies this book." Desmond Morton, Erindale College, University of Toronto. "I was delighted to hear of this book because there is no serious scholarly monograph on the Boer War and there needs to be one ... Miller has spent an enormous amount of time and energy in painstaking original research on the military records and private papers of those involved." Robert J.D. Page, Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Calgary. "Painting the Map Red provides an analysis of the very divisive national debate surrounding our decision to go to war, and it carefully assesses the varied roles that our forces had once they reached the field ... It fills an obvious gap in this nation's story and scholarship." Ronald Haycock, Department of History, Royal Military College.
