Description

Deneys Reitz's Adrift on the Open Veld is a gripping account of South African affairs from the Jameson Raid in 1895 to the start of World War II. This memoir provides a lively, personal perspective on the period, drawing on the author's own experiences as a soldier, adventurer and statesman. Reitz recounts his time during the Anglo-Boer War, where he developed a reputation for living through conflict with an uncanny knack for survival. This skill stayed with him throughout his life, influencing his later career as South African High Commissioner in London. With Adrift on the Open Veld, Reitz offers a unique insight into southern African affairs during this pivotal period. Through his story, Reitz sheds light on the complexities of South African history and politics, providing a compelling narrative that continues to appeal to readers today.
