‘The exciting incidents, the hairbreadth escapes, the daredevilry are literally true, and the dangers he passed through and courted are such as to make his unvarnished record read like one of pure romance. The effect is all the more striking because the story is so simple and unadorned and objective.’
– JAN SMUTS
‘Reitz had the uncanny knack of living through the war as though eafing through the pages of an adventure story.’
– THOMAS PAKENHAM
