General Jannie Geldenhuys is widely regarded as one of the leading
military commanders South Africa has ever produced. As Chief of the
South African Defence Force from 1985 to 1990 he brought his
experience to bear on the South African Border War, and was part of
the negotiating team which brought an end to the conflict in 1989.
In this edition, Geldenhuys reflects on a life defined as much by a
military career spanning more than four decades as it was by
politics and indeed the need for peace on the African
sub-continent. At the Front covers the years before and during the
protracted Border War. But rather than a blow-by-blow official
history, it consists of Geldenhuys’ personal experiences and
insights. These include facts unknown to civilians and even to some
high-ranking military officials. In particular, Geldenhuys sheds
light on the final years of the conflict and the negotiated
settlement. Geldenhuys also writes of his early years, as he
evolved from a rugby-mad young subaltern officer to a
deep-thinking, reflective man with ever-sharpening insights into,
war, peace, politics and, most of all, himself.
