‘Reitz had the uncanny knack of living through the war as though leafing through the pages of an adventure story.’ T H O M A S PA K E N H A M , author of The Boer War
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 in 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 TS Emslie, captures definitively what Smuts called ‘the wonderful romance of South Africa.’
