The ambivalent response in Britain to Emily Hobhouse's The Brunt of the War and Where it Fell (1902) contrasted with a long-standing admiration for its author in South Africa. Despite its influence in the interwar pacifist movement, the book's legacy was ultimately overshadowed by the Afrikaner nationalist movement's appropriation of the memory of Hobhouse's work in the South African War. In the 1990s, the end of the apartheid regime and increased humanitarian interventions around the world, combined with new academic work on empire and the politics of memory, renewed interest in the career of Emily Hobhouse and her anti-militarist book.
