THE WAR DIARIES OF ANDRÉ DENNISON | JRT WOOD IN JOHANNESBURG

Author: JRT Wood Introduction by: Brigadier Peter J Hosking Publisher: Ashanti () Edition: First Edition ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Hardcover with Dust jacket Pages: 395 +++ by JRT Wood +++ When the Rhodesian Army recruited André Dennison in , it secured the services of a hardened veteran of four of the minor wars of the s and s. Thus he was the most appropriate choice as the first Officer Commanding 'A' Company of the new 2nd Battalion of the Rhodesian African Rifles. André Dennison  kept a meticulous record of the daily life of his 'A' Company, writing up his war diaries every night and eventually, when convalescing from wounds, transcribing them into a single volume. He wrote in the dry, humorous style of the professional soldier, sparing little pity for his enemy while displaying deep affection and admiration for his men as he chronicled their exploits.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
