Written by the celebrated Boer commander General Christiaan Rudolf de Wet, Three Years' War is one of the most important firsthand memoirs of the Second Boer War. Covering the conflict from the Boer perspective, De Wet recounts his experiences from the outbreak of war through the guerrilla campaigns against the British Army, providing a detailed account of military operations, leadership and life on commando.
This classic work remains one of the key primary sources for the Boer War and is an essential volume for collectors of South African military history.
