Trace of foxing to edges. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. General Jannie Geldenhuys, chief of the South African Defence Force from 1985 to 1990, perhaps best known for his part in the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, is a man of many parts. In his Basjan and Wilhelm stories, he takes a humorous look at the events of history. "Jan Geldenhuys is 'n gebore Vrystater. Hy woon tans in die Transvaal. Hy het die stories van die mensdom geleer by Dr. (Kommandant) Cassie Bakkes, oorlede Prof A.N. Pelser en Prof. F. du T. Spies. Maar dit word nie teen hulle gehou nie. In elk geval is hierdie boek nie soseer die resultaat van sy kennis en skrywerstalent nie; dit is eerder te danke aan sy intieme vriendskap met Generaal Basjan en Wilhelm, en sy goeie verstandhouding met die hoofargivaris van Hoofkwartier."
