The Queen Cowboys Travels in the New South Africa eBook Tony Maxwell Reviews

A history of the Boer War one can understand without going to sleep. An unvarnished non politically correct true view of SA today. Black rule ruins the best country in Africa. Just like all the rest have gone down the tubes.
In "Searching for the Queen's Cowboys" Tony Maxwell takes the reader on a journey as he and his son travel across South Africa documenting the role of Strathcona's Horse, a Canadian Regiment in the " first large- scale modern war between an advanced military power and a small backward nation of people of European descent." Intermingled with details of their journey and descriptions of major battles are Tony Maxwell's personal experiences growing up in South Africa.

Fascinating and often filled with humor, "Searching for the Queen's Cowboys" gives a unique insight not only into the exploits of the Canadian squadron but into the modern-day problems of South Africa, a country still impacted by its violent and turbulent past.

I was a Boy Scout, so I researched Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement and learned a bit about the Anglo-Boer War. Later, I read a number of Winston Churchill's books on the war and great fiction stories written by G A Henty about the Boer War. On Good Reads, I saw this book and purchased it in the version to learn more about the Canadian soldiers who fought in this war. When I started reading, I discovered that this was not just a history, but an in-depth review of the political situation in South Africa up to 2010. It is also a journey of remembrance of the author who grew up in South Africa and retraced some of his boyhood memories. It is also a picture of the decline of South Africa due to government corruption and incompetence under the new regime. It is a view through the eyes of the citizens currently living and working there. This book is troubling, informative, educational, entertaining, and an excellent read! I found an excellent website, anglo-boer war, and used the maps of the country in 1899 to 1902 as well as google maps to follow the travels of the author and his son. This is not a history, a travel guide, or a rememberance, but all of that and more!!
I found this a very disappointing piece of work and possibly one of the dullest works about Africa
Really long winded
A well written and informative read.
