This book is a chapter from the diary of the Honourable Charles Brownlee, recounting his experiences as a magistrate in the Eastern Cape of South Africa during the Basuto War of 1880-1881. The author was one of the main British officials involved in attempts to persuade Basutoland's King Letsie to surrender his nation's arms, a policy that was seen as a key factor in starting the conflict. Brownlee provides a vivid and personal account of the events leading up to and during the war, offering insights into the political and social dynamics of the time. He discusses the fraught negotiations, the battles he witnessed, and the diplomatic challenges of dealing with the various factions involved. The author's real-time observations provide valuable historical context and a nuanced understanding of the causes and consequences of the war.
