Leipoldt, C.Louis. Stormwrack: The Classic Anglo-Boer War Novel. Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 2000. First edition thus. "Stormwrack is the classic record of the Second Anglo-Boere War of a century ago. From the archives of the Valley comes this somber group portrait of the closely knit community, whose early history is recorded in the comic prequel, Chameleon on the Gallows. Under the impact of war, the story continues here with the old patriarch. Andrew Quakerley and his adored grandson, the Storams, the Seldons and the Rekkers - loyal and familiar South African types driven into deceit, betrayal and disaster by huge international events beyond their control." 304pp. Near Fine.
