The great man

Nr. Kruger, often over looked, is brought to life in this biography which is one of a kind. Kruger was the leader of the Orange free state prior to the Boer War. He led his small African republic into conflict with the British empire. In the ensuing war the British had to employ concentration camps to put down the Boers, who won victory after victory against the vastly larger English Army. Kruger later reutrned from exile. He was a large man and a hero of the Boers, todays Afrikaners. Kruger is as important a member of South African History as Smuts, Mandela or Rhodes.
