Your services to my Fatherland were of extraordinary importance. President Paul Kruger's letter to Lieutenant Colonel Maximov Please convey the gratitude of my Government to the Head of the Russian Red Cross for their fine work. President Kruger's letter to Dr Willem Leyds Wherever you go these days, you hear the same story - the Boers, the Boers and only the Boers. A Russian pamphlet published in 1900 Why did President Kruger send a letter of gratitude to a Russian volunteer? Why did he thank Russian doctors and nurses? Why did the Russians go to South Africa, a country so distant from their snowy plains? How did it happen that at the turn of the century the most popular Russian folk song was about the Transvaal and why is it still remembered today? Why was it that all the political groupings in Tsarist Russia. from the Monarchists to the Social Democrats, were so preoccupied with the Anglo-Boer War? This book deals with all these and many other questions about the Russian involvement in the War. It is based on ra archival material - most of which became available only after the collapse of the USSR - and on the private archives of Russian volunteers.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
