The famous poem, If by Rudyard Kipling is said to be based on the life of Jameson, and the suffering he endured as a result of the 1896 raid that he and his Rhodesian and Bechuanaland policemen carried out on Paul Kruger's Transvaal Republic. This engaging biography recounts the life of this colonial statesman known as 'Dr Jim' or 'The Doctor'.
