The Memoirs of Paul Kruger
Told by Himself – First Published 1902

This compelling autobiographical work chronicles the rise, trials, and final exile of one of South Africa’s most formidable political leaders — Paul Kruger, President of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) during the Anglo-Boer Wars.

From childhood on the frontier to commanding military campaigns, forging peace with Moshesh, resisting British annexation, and leading an independent Boer nation into war, Kruger’s voice narrates the defining moments of South African history. Dictated in exile, translated from Dutch and German, these pages offer an unfiltered view into the mind and mission of the “Lion of the Transvaal.”
