Adrift on the open veld: The Anglo-Boer War and its aftermath 1899 - 1943 (The Deneys Reitz Trilogy)

Not only is this equally true of the rest of Deneys Reitz's amazingly eventful life, but - incredibly - he was also a gifted and compelling writer who bequeathed us a timeless heritage of three brilliant books: Commando, Trekking On and No Outspan. 

Established bestsellers in their own right, these works are now collected as a trilogy under a title taken from Deneys Reitz's own description of his commando invading the Cape Colony during the Anglo-Boer War.

Adrift on the Open Veld, edited and introduced by T.S. Emslie, captures definitively what Smuts called "the wonderful romance of South Africa."
