Neutral Rights and Obligations in the Anglo-Boer War

"Neutral Rights and Obligations in the Anglo-Boer War" by Robert Granville Campbell is a deep look into how countries that weren't involved, like the United States and nations in Europe, behaved during the Anglo-Boer War. It shows the tricky parts of keeping neutrality and following international laws at that time. The book gets going by talking about the reasons for the war, then asks important questions about what it really means to be neutral and how that neutrality should be enforced. It points out that America wanted to stay out of the conflict at first, and it looks at the talks and choices that were made as things changed. In short, the book sets up a careful study of how different countries dealt with their responsibilities to stay neutral while war was happening, digging into what was expected of both the countries fighting and those trying to stay out of it.
