Book Overview
Boer War - South Africa - 1902. Canadian Lt. Harry Lanyard, British Army, leads his mounted patrol of hard-bitten Colonial troopers into the veld to recover 15-million dollars' worth of gold bullion looted by "Oom Paul" Kruger, the fugitive President of the Transvaal Republic. To do it, Lanyard must battle tough burgher commandos, murderous bandits, hostile civilians, and a vengeful enemy spy among his own mutinous troopers. He also strives to regain the love of his half-American Boer sweetheart, who is now allied with a ruthless Czarist secret agent.Based on many actual events, KRUGER'S GOLD is meticulously researched in historical details. It reveals the horrors of concentration camps and savage guerrilla fighting, while over 27,000 white civilians and 30,000 black Africans suffer in the "last of the gentleman's wars".
