""Secret Service in South Africa"" is a non-fiction book written by Douglas Blackburn and published in 1911. The book provides a detailed account of Blackburn's experiences as a secret service agent in South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Blackburn was one of the few British agents who operated behind enemy lines, gathering intelligence and carrying out sabotage missions against the Boer forces. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Blackburn's work as a secret agent. He describes his training, his infiltration into Boer territory, his encounters with Boer soldiers and civilians, and his efforts to disrupt Boer supply lines and communications. Blackburn also provides insight into the political and military strategies of both the British and Boer forces during the war. Throughout the book, Blackburn emphasizes the dangers and difficulties of his work, as well as the importance of intelligence gathering in modern warfare. He also reflects on the moral and ethical implications of espionage, and the toll it can take on both the agent and the people he works with. Overall, ""Secret Service in South Africa"" offers a unique perspective on the Second Boer War, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the world of secret agents and espionage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
