Extract from Commando Courageous
An entertaining and informative personal account of what it was like to be a guerrilla defying the overwhelming might of the British Empire during the Second Anglo Boer War. Schikkerling tells a story of heroism, sacrifice and patriotism with an understated humour and is never bitter, although highly critical of those who have invaded his beloved Transvaal.
A quick Google search will reveal how widely quoted this book is as a reference source on a variety of topics and confirm its stature as a Classic of its kind. A must read for any student of South African or military history.
First published in ink and paper form in 1964, and based on the author's notes and diary entries made in the field, Commando Courageous has an appeal that effortlessly bridges the hundred-odd years that separate the modern-day reader and the events it recounts.
