"Origin of the Anglo-Boer War Revealed: The Conspiracy of the 19th Century Unmasked" by C.H. Thomas is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to explore the underlying causes and conspiracies that Thomas argues led to the Anglo-Boer War, particularly attributing blame to the Afrikaner Bond and its influence on various political dynamics between the English and Boer populations in South Africa. Thomas's perspective reflects a complex intertwining of history, nationalism, and colonial interactions. At the start of the book, Thomas outlines his intention to reveal the contentious origins of the Anglo-Boer War, emphasizing the role of the Afrikaner Bond as a secretive organization that manipulated the Boer populace against the British. He draws on nearly four decades of experience with the Boer people, expressing a deep familiarity with their history and grievances. Thomas argues that, although the Boers may appear guilty, they have largely been duped into conflict by outside influence, and much of the responsibility rests with powerful figures in Holland and the Afrikaner Bond. The opening sets the stage for a detailed analysis of events leading up to the war, positioning the reader to investigate the complexities of colonial power, identity, and conflict in South Africa.
