520 _aDublin 1899. Lawyer Joseph Radcliffe and his black American comrade Benjamin Pierce were 'Buffalo Soldiers' in the Civil War and the Indian Wars; now Radcliffe defends the toughest cases in a troubled city. But a far-off war is raging, the battle between the British and the Boers in South Africa, and, after an argument with his father, Joseph's son Edward runs away to join the Irish forces there. When Edward is captured and held as a spy, Radcliffe and Pierce - a black man in a white man's war - set off to find the young man and bring him back to Ireland. In the harsh South African terrain, the two old soldiers find their survival skills tested to the hilt in this epic tale of heroism and treachery, love and loyalty. David Gilman delivers another historical page-turner, once again he thrills and astounds with his breathtaking battle scenes, drawing on his own first-hand experience of soldiering. This is the Anglo-Boer War told as never before, by a master writer.
