The United Nations had brokered a peaceful settlement for Namibia and 1 April 1989 was meant to be the first day of peace after 23 years of conflict. However, on the night of 31 March, 1600 SWAPO fighters crossed the borderline. The South African troops had withdrawn to their camps as part of the peace agreement and for nine days 1200 members of Koevoet, the South West African territory police (minus their heavier weapons which had been handed in as part of the agreement), fought the SWAPO members who had crossed the border.

"This remarkable diary covering the Siege of Kimberley and its aftermath was written by the German missionary, Carl Meyer. It is an important addition to the literature dealing with this historical event as it presents a unique insight into the effect of the war on social conditions of the time. Meyer, a politically neutral person, committed himself tirelessly not only to the welfare of his flock, but also to the fair treatment of all parties involved in the war, regardless of race or political affiliation. The reader is drawn into the everyday problems besetting the dedicated and selfless pastor, a man who never spared himself and in consequence passed away the day before the armstice of the South African Anglo-Boer War. It is a human interest story which will be enjoyed by the layman as well as the academic. The manuscript of the diary was sent to Germany in in the mailboat, Mexican, which was sunk. Fortunately the diary was salvaged from the mailbag in a poor but legible condition. Very few of the original printed copies have survived; one of these was donated to the Kimberley Africana Library by the council chairman of the German Lutheran Church in ". Size: Octavo. SIGNED.
