With the peace treaty in 1902, the British and Boers were brought together in an uneasy alliance, allowing the formation of a unified South Africa. The supplement, After Pretoria: The Guerrilla War, details the events that occurred after the capture of Pretoria, from the Bethlehem Campaign of 1900 to the concentration camps and the loyal refugees, 1899-1901.Each volume is richly illustrated in black and white in text as well as a folding map to the supplement.
