Are you a Louis Botha or a Jan Smuts fan, or perhaps a fan of both? Tony Garcia and Ian van der Waag's wonderful new book investigates the wartime roles of these two legendary, yet divisive historical figures.
Facing internal rebellion and the threat posed by German troops on South Africa’s borders, Prime Minister Louis Botha and his deputy, Jan Smuts, led the Union Defence Force during the First World War. Both men commanded in the field.
Behind Botha’s charming façade and Smuts’s stoic machine, were two very human, imperfect men. Together they provide a fascinating lens through which to examine the potent forces of the early 20th-century world and the country they hoped to forge.

Delta Books tells the stories of the conflicts in southern Africa. Wars such as the Border War in northern Namibia and southern Angola and the liberation struggles in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique have changed the course of history.
Delta publishes books that not only give an overview of these conflicts and highlight their political and historical significance, but also tell of the impact it had on civilian populations.
We want to give a voice to the thousands of veterans on both sides of these conflicts. In telling their stories, we hope to offer readers gripping eye-witness accounts from the front line that tell of the true realities of war.
Delta also looks at the involvement of South Africa in modern-day international conflicts.
Delta Books is an imprint of Jonathan Ball Publishers. It has offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
