This true story in this recently published book covers three contintents:
* It concerns the adventures of an educated South African, who was captured by the British during the Boer war (1899-1902)
* The prisoner of war (POW) was held in prison camps in what was then British India.
*Whilst in Captivity, he visited Indian localities such as Madras, Trichinopoly, Kolar, Amritsar, and Bangalore. Being observant, he made notes on what he experienced. His observations form the centrepiece of this book, which is also rich in South African history.
* The POW’s descriptions of Bangalore in 1901 are particularly detailed, and will fascinate anyone who knows the city today
* This book will appeal to anyone interested in the histories of South Africa and/or India
