Barry, QuintinBLACK WEEK: The British Army and Defeat in the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1900 Examines the British Army's defeats at Stormberg, Magersfontein, and Colenso and the effect those losses had on leadership, morale, and reinforcements. Also looks at the Battle of Spion Kop, which further exposed the failures in leadership the government, and how the British military establishment faced the task of recovering from these traumatic defeats, as well as discovering the reasons for them. Many painful lessons had still to be learned about combat with an enemy armed with the most modern weapons before the Boers were finally defeated. These lessons would be learned not only on the field of battle, but also at the tables of the numerous committees established to determine the reason why things had gone so wrong.
