De Wet, Christiaan Rudolf, 1854-1922; South African War, 1899-1902 -- Personal narratives
WORDS BY AN EYEWITNESS:
THE STRUGGLE IN NATAL.
Eleventh Impression. With a new Preface.
Crown 8vo, 6s.
"Among the many books which have found their birth in the
campaign against the Boers, this one stands out, not merely on
account of the author's literary merits, keen power of
observation, and attractive phraseology, but in its unprejudiced
sentiments and clever handling of battle impressions hitherto
unattempted by contemporary writers. It is the work of an
artist."--_Times_.
THE MECHANISM OF WAR.
Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
"The new writer best worth talking about is 'Linesman.' He comes
with no tricks of style to entrance mercurial critics. A style
he has, but lit is inseparable from his matter, and that is his
own. It is a satisfaction to find a new writer who has something
to say and says it in a manner that cannot be imitated by the
rapt connoisseurs of cake-walk writing; but it is not a
surprise, for 'Linesman's' theme is War, and he is equal to
it."--_Academy_.
"Throughout the book we recognise a mind which seizes on the
essentials, and sees things in their true proportion,--a mind
which, while it never loses sight of the whole, knows which
details to enforce so that the reader may grasp that whole
too."--_Spectator_.
