THREE YEARS WAR

De Wet (C.R.)

Description:

520 pages, frontispiece portrait, folding map, original green cloth gilt – spine slightly faded, contents crisp, a very good copy.

From The Times: ‘For the first time the public will now be able to know as facts the things that have hitherto always been matters of wondering surmise - to trace the moves that lead up to those many sudden and unwelcome surprises, to follow De Wet's devious path from the point where the pursuing columns lost the trail or abandoned it in exhaustion, to study the whole mechanism by which dust was thrown in the eyes of divisions in hot pursuit, or of unsuspecting garrisons or convoys marked down for prey. It is a work of consummate interest, which throws a whole flood of light on many of the most important  features of the War.’
