The Capture of De Wet by P. J. Sampson is a compelling historical account of one of the most dramatic episodes of the Second Boer War. This detailed narrative follows the persistent pursuit and eventual capture of Boer general Christian De Wet, one of the most elusive and celebrated commanders in Boer military history.
Rich in first-hand material and period commentary, the book provides valuable insights into military tactics, political tensions, and the personal experiences of those involved in the conflict. Illustrated with historic photographic plates, it remains a significant reference work for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of Boer War and South African history.
