. "The straightforward narrative of his experiences is both a classic of 'true-life adventure', and an unforgettable evocation of mobile guerilla warfare. Though written in 1903, Commando was not published until 1929, and was reprinted ten times in as many years. This sumptuous gift edition brings new life to this acclaimed journal. Battlegrounds and town squares, burghers and generals, British troops and Boer partisans - all are sketched in absorbing prose, fine colour paintings, and a host of authentic black and white photographs. Commando is a South African classic, a timeless story of courage, endurance and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.".
