"When I first wrote this book, between December 1990 and January 1992, I did not set out to research and produce a history. Instead I committed to paper an account of what I had experienced. The book was published in Afrikaans in 1993, entitled Die wat wen – n’ generaal se storie uit n era van oorlog en vrede, followed in 1994 by the English version, A general's story - from an era of war and peace." Jannie Geldenhuys

At the Front General Jannie Geldenhuys is widely regarded as one of the leading military commanders South Africa has ever produced. This book reflects on a life defined as much by a military career spanning more than four decades as it was by politics and indeed the need for peace on the African sub-continent.
