De La Rey - Lion of the West
General De la Rey has variously been described as 'perhaps the only man of original genius to emerge on either side in the Anglo-Boer War', 'one of nature’s gentlemen', 'a remarkably fine fellow', 'the greatest natural soldier to come out of South Africa', 'with a face unequalled for antique patriarchal dignity', 'a warrior saint', 'a lion', 'a king' – these have been the assessments made by some famous na… |

General LOUIS BOTHA
The Boer race produced many remarkable men, tall keen-eyed and strong, independent, devout, honourable men who lived by the word of God. Such a man was Louis Botha, who had not only all the typical Boer qualities but good looks, charm and intelligence as well.
The combination of these attributes marked him from his early years as a born leader. At the age of twenty-one he had his first taste of fighting when he took part in the last invasion of Zululand, out of which was to come the… |

Sword in the Sand - Gideon SCHEEPERS
What really happened to Gideon Scheepers, the gallant 23-year-old Boer fighter who was executed by a British firing squad some months before the Anglo-Boer War was to end? Though nobody knows, since his body was never found, this young heliographer became an almost legendary figure in South African history and his name sacred to many Afrikaners.
As he was considered innocent and had become an idol because of his daring exploits in the Cape Colony, Scheepers' execution caused a… |

The Commandant-General Petrus Jacobus JOUBERT
Perhaps because of the enigma of his character as much as the fact that he was overshadowed by his rival President Kruger, there had been little or no serious attempt to assess Commandant-General Petrus Jacobus Joubert prior to this book by one of the best-known biographers in SA, Johannes Meintjes.
Up to the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War Joubert, the hero of Majuba, was second in importance only to Pres Kruger on the Transvaal scene and possibly the most important sphere of his … |

Hierdie boek, wat opgedra is aan die vroue van Suid-Afrika, het in 1922 die lig in Afrikaans gesien. Hobhouse stel die doelwit van die boek as volg: "...om van die standpunt van die vroue en kinders 'n oorsig te gee van die Boer-Britse oorlog."
'n Oorsig word ook gegee van die geskiedenis en die uitgebreidheid van die verbranding van plase, om aan te toon hoe uitgestrek die onthuising van families was en hoe magteloos hulle was onder die drang van omstandighede.
