The Boers proved to be formidable opponents, masterfully compensating for inferior numbers with grim determination, resourcefulness and strong religious faith. Their mobility, expert use of cover, and knowledge of the terrain, in which they employed powerful long-range magazine rifles, gave them initial advantages. By contrast the British suffered from inadequate transport, insufficient mounted troops and poor intelligence. Despite marshalling the immense resources of their empire, the British were to be severely tested in a war which one general described as 'the graveyard of many a soldier's reputation'."; Essential Histories Series; Vol. 52; 9.6 X 6.9 X 0.3 inches; 96 pages.

Our minimum shipping fee is $3.99 and also includes all handling and packaging fees. All book orders are packaged in cardboard shipping boxes made especially for books so you can rest assured your book arrives in the same condition it was described and left our facility. We ship books daily on business day and are often able to get them out on Saturdays as well. Domestic shipping is usually shipped standard media mail. We use software which automatically assigns the four digit extension on all zip codes which speeds up delivery considerably. If weight allows, we will also choose first class delivery over media mail. All orders receive a tracking number which is logged on to your order with AbeBooks on the website which will allow you to follow your order as it makes its way to you.
On foreign orders, we ship using the U.S. Postal Service. We DO NOT profit on Shipping and handling fees. We charge you our cost for the shipping as determined by the U.S. Postal Service with an additional $1 to $2 for packaging materials. Although our prices are listed for shipping, if you are overcharged through the checkout process, we will refund your account for the overage. All international orders over 4 pounds are required to be shipped priority international mail by the U.S. Postal Service. We have no control over this and you may find the costs for shipping a heavy book prohibitive. If, however, you order a smaller or lighter book from us, we will make an effort to box it and enclose it in a priority flat rate envelope. If we can do so and ship it to you for less than the first class international postage, we will do so and refund the difference to you.
We make every effort to serve you as we would like to be served. This is a lengthy entry, but we hope it has helped.
