Op omslag: . Dit is eintlik ondenkbaar dat die eerste Afrikaanse vertaling van genl. C. R. de Wet se herinneringe aan die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog eers vyftig jaar ná die Nederlandse uitgawe verskyn. Die Tweede Vry heidsoorlog was immers een van die in grypendste gebeurtenisse in die geskiedenis van die Afrikaner, en genl. De Wet die mees legendariese krygsman uit daardie tyd. Hierdie vertaling vul dus 'n wesenlike leemte wat tot dusver in ons Afrikaanse geskiedskrywing bestaan het. Soos kmdt. C. A. van Niekerk, President van die Senaat, in sy Voorwoord sê, het die Nederlandse uitgawe in die jare ná die oorlog op die rak van feitlik elke Afrikaner gestaan. Vir die nuwe geslag Afrikaners wat die oorspronklike nie kon besit nie, word die geleentheid dus nou gebied om hul boekery aan te vul. Hierdie boek is nie bedoel vir die vak geleerde nie. Dit is geen dorre relaas van reekse skermutselinge op die Vrystaatse vlaktes nie. Dit is 'n boeiende, volledige en outentieke vertelling deur een van die vernaamste deelnemers aan die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog. Die verhaal word met groot piëteit en eerlikheid vertel. Daar is geen hoogmoed oor eie prestasie nie, en die swakhede van die Boere word by tye net so onbevange genoem as wat die Britte lof toegeswaai word wanneer die skrywer meen dat hulle dit verdien. Bowendien bevat die werk 'n paar belangrike dokumente, o.m. die volledige teks van 'n brief van pres. Steyn aan lord Kitchener waarin die oorsake van die oorlog en die standpunt van die Republieke op meesterlike wyse uiteengesit word. Mnr. Izak de Wet, die enigste oorlewende seun van die generaal, het sy in komste uit hierdie boek aan die Vereenigingse Monumentefonds afgestaan. -------------------------------------------- 230 bladsye ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
