Book Overview

Four Months Besieged: The Story Of Ladysmith is a historical account of the Siege of Ladysmith during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The book was written by Henry H. S. Pearse, who was a British journalist and war correspondent at the time. The siege lasted for 118 days, from November 1899 to February 1900, and was a crucial battle in the war. The book provides a detailed and vivid description of the events that took place during the siege, including the daily life of the besieged soldiers and civilians, the tactics and strategies employed by both sides, and the eventual relief of the town by British forces.
