Use this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-filtered list of public-domain books specifically about South African history and the Anglo-Boer War (DT subject heading). Prefer it over full-text search when you want a broad browsable shelf rather than keyword-matched passages, and when you need drill-down routes to subsequently fetch full texts.
