On the Heels of De Wet

"On the Heels of De Wet" by Lionel James is an account of operations to suppress the Boer invasion of Cape Colony in 1901. The author took part in various drives chiefly in pursuit of the Boer commander De Wet. The narrative is fictional, but it's based on the writer's war diary and shows the true nature of what it's like to be in the middle of war and conflict. Though a short story, the tale is full of adventure and suspense that only an expert could write.
