Published in wartime Britain on economy paper. In this his third book Deneys Reitz, author of Commando and Trekking On, in 1944 High Commissioner for South Africa and South African Minister to the Belgian, Dutch and Greek Convernments, continues the story of his life. Deneys Reitz has divided his time between politics, the law, and exploration; and on special missions has visited London, the Maginot Line, Portugal, Franco Spain, and Ireland, where he attempted to persuade Mr. de Valera to co-operate in the prosecution of the war. As Deputy Prime Minister of South Africa, and a member of the Government and an M.P. for many years, politics naturally play a part in his book, but in South Africa politics are so live and virile that they vie with his big game hunting experiences in interest. They reach a climax in the conflict with General Hertzog, and we learn the inside story of the extra osdinarily dramatic events which led up to South Africa's entry into the war. We do not think any book has been so successful in giving us the feel of the country, both physical and spiritual; or, most important, in foreshadowing South Africa's course in future years. Although a book of active adventure, No Outspan is at heart the story of a man's love for his country and of a life dedicated to furthering its unity within the British Commonwealth of Nations. 288 pages with Index. Foldout map. Black and white photos. Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Size: 6" X 9".…
