Experience • the dramatic sieges and the resilience of besieged towns, embodying the unyielding human spirit amidst adversity. Follow • the adventurous saga of Winston Churchill, from captivity to daring escapes. Marvel • at the tactical ingenuity of the Boers, whose mastery of the land and hit-and-run tactics bewildered a traditional military power.
