Autorenporträt
Christiaan Rudolf De Wet (1854-1922) was a prominent figure in the military history of South Africa, immortalized through his vivid account of the Second Boer War in his esteemed work 'Three Years' War' (1902). Born into a Boer farming family in the Orange Free State, De Wet would rise to prominence as a formidable guerrilla leader during a conflict that sought to challenge British imperialism in the region. His writings encapsulate not only the strategic insights of his military engagements but also reflect the resilient spirit of the Boer fighters. His narrative style, characterized by detailed and personal recollections, has granted readers a window into the hardships and complexities of war from the perspective of those who lived it. The book remains a pivotal primary source for historians analyzing the turn-of-the-century warfare tactics and the socio-political impact of the Boer Wars on South Africa. Beyond his literary contributions, De Wet's legacy speaks to a broader historical discourse on leadership, resistance, and national identity, affording him a respected place within both military and literary scholarship.
