Written in 1896 by the secretary of the Johannesburg Reform Committee and published on the eve of the Boer War, this is the Uitlander side of the quarrel with President Kruger’s Transvaal: taxes without votes, concessions and monopolies, and the conspiracy that collapsed with the Jameson Raid. FitzPatrick follows the arrest, trial and imprisonment of the Reformers from the inside.
