At The Front – Jannie Geldenhuys

Description

At The Front by Jannie Geldenhuys is an insightful and personal account of the South African Border War and the pivotal role the author played in its resolution. Geldenhuys, who served as Chief of the South African Defence Force from 1985 to 1990, offers a unique perspective on the conflict, the military strategies employed, and the political negotiations that ultimately led to the war’s end in 1989. In this updated and revised edition of his 1993 memoir, Geldenhuys reflects on his life in the military, his leadership during one of South Africa’s most turbulent periods, and his involvement in the historic negotiations that helped bring peace to the region.
