COMMANDO - A BOER JOURNAL OF THE BOER WAR South African fiction oorlogvoering onder Botha en SmutsThis is Deneys Reitzs classic account of his experiences during the Boer War, as published in the 1929 first edition. General Jan Smuts said of Commando: The exciting incidents, the hairbreadth escapes, the daredevilry are literally true, and the dangers he passed through and courted are such as to make his unvarnished record read like one of pure romance. The effect is all the more striking because the story is so simple and unadorned and objective.
