'Commando' is regarded as one of the finest narratives of war in the English language. Reitz served with the Boers during the South African War and, after fighting to the bitter end chose exile in Madagascar rather than life under the flag. It was during those years of banishment that he set down, still vivid in memory, this record of battle and guerrilla warfare. He passed while High Commissioner (of South Africa) in London.
