Abstract
- The article focuses on the success of the Perskantoor Van Het Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond, an international protest movement in Dordrecht, Netherlands during the Anglo-Boer War from 1899-1902. It discusses how South African Republic Ambassador doctor W. J. Leyds organized the propaganda in early middle November 1899 with the help of grammar school teacher H. J. Kiewiet de Jonge. It says that Kiewiet and Leyds have consigned the German edition, "Ein Jahrhundert voller Unrecht" to the wholesale merchant Eiffe from Hamburg, Germany. Furthermore, the Perskantoor has not only published and distributed informative pamphlets internationally but also provided pro-Boer groups in Germany, England and France with brochures for further use.
