Commando - A Boer Journal of the...

Deneys Reitz

The definitive account of Commando: A Boer Journal of the Anglo-Boer War, published word-for-word as Reitz first wrote it in the English translation; edited and annotated by historian and Anglo-Boer War expert, Professor Fransjohan Pretorius.
In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. He made full use of these skills and the endurance he had acquired in the next three years of the war, during which he fought with the Boer commandos.
He was involved in major actions, like the battle of Spioen Kop, and he interacted with prolific political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener. He even met the young Winston Churchill as a prisoner-of-war in Pretoria. Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with General Jan Smuts after the war, built on reciprocal respect.
Commando is more than a historical document; it is a literary masterpiece that transcends time.
With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity and passion.
As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

Too Thin for a Shroud - The Last...

Crispin Black

'One of the best in the field.' JON SNOWOn 8 June, 1982, some 600 troops aged 17-22 were packed closely together on the Galahad at Fitzroy, 3 miles from the front line, to liberate Port Stanley on 10 June. They became the thunderbolt target of Argentine airforce attacks resulting in Britain's most devastating military day since 1945 with additional attacks on two Royal Navy ships, including frigate HMS Portsmouth struck by five 500lbs bombs.Written as a tribute to the bravery of the troops as they suddenly came under attack, this memoir is filled with first-hand recollections from officers under attack. The first history of that fateful day, it is also the first Falklands book based on the official June-Sept 1982 Royal Navy Inquiry, recently declassified and made accessible at Kew Archives. Too Thin for a Shroud casts an unmissable, gripping new light on this dramatic part of the land-campaign that has been misunderstood and overlooked for forty years.
