The Defence of Duffer's Drift
The Defence of Duffer's Drift is a book written by Major General Sir Ernest Dunlop Swinton, who was an eyewitness of several wars and moreover Lieutenant during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). In the book he gives a detailed account of the event, mostly describing the tactics used while defending the river crossing by 50 men of an infantry. He summarizes the war’s resume not omitting faults and mistakes that enemies never forgive. Swinton gives lessons, so thoroughly explaining every action and using special war terms that the reader can learn much from that.
