Synopsis & Historical Value

Jan Moolman’s Dankie Generaal is a deeply moving, beautifully written historical tribute to the legendary tactical relationship between ordinary Boer burghers and their iconic commanders, such as De Wet, De la Rey, and Botha. Bypassing dry political timelines, Moolman pieces together journal excerpts and personal field letters to capture the grit, humor, and daily survival of the guerrilla commandos. This well-maintained 2018 collectible copy serves as a stellar narrative addition for anyone passionate about the human side of the Anglo-Boer conflict.
