Nicki graduated from the University of Cape Town having read English and History, and later taught history at high school. After raising a family, she combined her love for travel and South African war history by making a career of guiding British visitors through the battlefields. Nicki now lives near Underberg, in KwaZulu-Natal where she spends her time researching and writing; as well as arranging and guiding tours through the battlefields or the old Trappist mission stations. Renowned for her expert knowledge and passion for the subject, she is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and an honorary life member of the Anglo-Zulu War Historical Society. Nicki is available to give talks or to guide groups wishing to visit the battlefields. In this companion volume to the highly successful Field Guide to the Battlefields of South Africa, the pivotal sieges that characterised the Cape Frontier, Anglo-Zulu, Basotho and Anglo-Boer wars are brought together in one volume. Accounts of 17 sieges over the last two centuries explore in detail the historical context in which they occurred, the day-to-day military actions that sustained the investments and the conditions both soldiers and civilians faced while defending their territory against a hostile force. The siege descriptions are animated by maps, timelines and a variety of information boxes and human-interest stories, gleaned mainly from diaries, letters and eye-witness accounts, while long-form features focus on the practical aspects of siege warfare, such as artillery, medicine, food, and the psychological effects of besiegement. The book also provides practical information for visitors who wish to explore these Historical sites. It is the first on-the-ground practical guide to the battlefields. Comprehensive, compelling and vividly illustrated, the Field Guide to the Battlefields of South Africa is an indispensable tool for professional and amateur military historians as well as anyone interested in exploring South Africa’s fascinating history.
