Re: Adrift on the Open Veld
I read Reitz's trilogy as three separate books, and have re-read commando several times since. It is internationally recognized as one of the classic war auto-biographies of all times. A very well written and readable account of an extraordinary life.

Re: Adrift on the Open Veld
Not the busiest thread i see. For any of his fans, le Carre has a new one out. "A Delicate Truth". Masterful as usual.

Re: Adrift on the Open Veld
Why do you post about an unrelated Le Carre book (or is there a connection) on a thread about another author?
Start a new thread. There is no reason to post unrelated info on this thread even if you think it is not "busy".
This is what we call and we do not approve of that on Gunsite.
