{"product_id":"9781868427741","title":"Afrikaner Odyssey: The Life and Times of the Reitz Family","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe odyssey of the Reitz family passes like a thread through the tapestry of South African history in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Originally Dutch-Afrikaner gentry from the Cape, the family moved to the frontier settlement of Bloemfontein and played a key role in the building of the Orange Free State. At the heart of this tale is the extraordinary career of Deneys Reitz, whose account of his adventures in the field during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), published as \u003ci\u003eCommando\u003c\/i\u003e, became a classic of irregular warfare. Martin Meredith interweaves Reitz's experiences, taken from his unpublished notebooks, with the wider story of Britain's brutal suppression of Boer resistance. Concise and readable, and featuring rare photographs from the family archives, \u003ci\u003eAfrikaner Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e is a wide-ranging portrait of a distinguished Afrikaner family whose presence is still marked on the South African landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136739819760,"sku":"9781868427741","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781868427741_p0.jpg?v=1763601517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781868427741","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
