Lord Milner's Work in South Africa by W. Basil Worsfold
QR code
"Lord Milner's Work in South Africa" by W. Basil Worsfold is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the political and administrative challenges faced by the British in South Africa from the perspective of Lord Milner, a key figure in this period of British colonial rule, particularly from 1897 to the end of the Second Boer War in 1902. It delves into issues such as governance, racial
tensions, and the complex relationship between British authorities and the Afrikander population. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the failures of British administration in South Africa prior to Milner's involvement, exploring the historical context that creates a ripe environment for conflict. It highlights various early clashes between Europeans and native populations and outlines the socio-political landscape shaped by previous governmental policies. The preface underscores the author’s personal connection to the region and the hope that the book will enhance understanding of modern South Africa by revealing the historical precedents established during this turbulent time. It emphasizes the imperative need for a nuanced comprehension of local conditions to achieve effective governance, a theme that will likely recur throughout Milner's story.
