Some time ago I met up with Chris Moerdyk for tea. We chatted about the books we were reading, and I mentioned that I had just finished The Boer War by Thomas Pakenham. He shared that his grandfather had kept a diary during the Boer War, and sent me a copy of the book a couple of days later. It was translated by his brother. It was so interesting to get insight into that period, he had such a sharp wit, and it is endearing how much he cared for his horses. I am very grateful to have been able to get this sneak peek into our history of that time.
Where can I buy a copy of this book?
