McDonald is a historical account associated with the Anglo-Boer War written in the early 20th century. The authors narrate their experiences as members of the Boer forces during this tumultuous period in South African history, providing insights into battles, strategies, and the human suffering encountered throughout the war. The work seeks to offer a balanced perspective that honors both sides of the conflict while portraying the significant details of their struggle for independence. The opening of the account presents the authors' backgrounds, detailing their German ancestry and their upbringing in South Africa. Kritzinger recounts formative experiences, reflecting on childhood admiration for war that later transformed into a profound awareness of its brutal realities. As he details his early entries into military life and the buildup to the conflict, we see the shifting sentiments towards warfare as he becomes involved in the unfolding narrative of the war. The text begins by exploring personal histories that shape the perspective of the authors, ultimately leading into their reflections on battles fought, losses faced, and the complex emotional landscape cultivated by the war.
