Summary "Zes maanden bij de commando's" by Nico J. Hofmeyr is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's personal observations and experiences during the early events of the Second Anglo-Boer War, capturing the political tensions and the emotions of those involved in the conflict. Hofmeyr, a Transvaal citizen, offers perspective on the moral complexities of war, reflecting on the struggles for independence and national identity among the Afrikaners in South Africa. The opening of the narrative introduces a time of great uncertainty in September 1899 as political gatherings hint at the impending war. Citizens of Pretoria are anxious and desperate for news, engaging in conversations filled with hope for peace despite the growing realization of conflict. Hofmeyr highlights the diverse sentiments among various factions, showcasing key figures such as General Piet Cronjé, who expresses disbelief that war will break out, and General de la Rey, who recognizes its inevitability. The stage is set for the emotional and tumultuous events that will follow, as individuals prepare to take up arms in defense of their beliefs and homeland.
