Summary:
"It has been said that the best-known South Africans outside South Africa is Nelson Mandela and Jan Smuts. Smuts is regarded as the most prominent Afrikaner ever and one of the most influential world leaders of his time. So much and so many books have been written about him, but because of his complex personality, some aspects of his life remains a mystery. In this photobook his life is captured chronologically in photographs, some never published before.
