De La Rey: Lion of the West is a detailed biography of General Jacobus Herculaas de la Rey, one of the most respected and capable Boer commanders of the South African War. Johannes Meintjes traces De La Rey’s life from his early years through his military career and role in the Boer struggle, examining the campaigns, personalities and events that shaped both the man and the conflict. Richly illustrated and supported by extensive research, the book offers an engaging account of one of South Africa’s most significant military figures.
