"Two families, one Boer, one British, linked by blood, find their destinies inexorably intertwined by the tides of history as politics and imperial hubris drag them into the blood, fire and chaos of the Anglo Boer War of 1899-1902. The Runaway Horses is the sweeping saga of two sets of cousins caught up in events they cannot control, and forced to take sides against each other."--Back cover
