"Those who delighted in Commando, that magnificent record by Colonel Deneys Reitz of his experiences with the Boer Army during the South African War, will be fascinated by this lively account of a remarkable and resourceful man, the late Woolls Sampson, who on the British side was largely responsible for the system of espionage and surprise tactics which in the long run broke down the Boer opposition.
He was a man of unusual stamp, brave, unconventional, and equipped with a peculiar knowledge of the Boer mentality; his whole life was a romance. This story of his career is at once a tale of high adventure and a psychological study of intense interest. From material supplied by Mr. Justice Sampson, Sir Ian Hamilton - who, of course, was on the spot throughout the period described - has written an exciting book of real historical importance."
