The Great De Wet Hunt: Part Two
from More Than A Story · host Moxi Nicols
He'd already beaten every trap the British could build. This time they came with concentration camps, scorched earth, and a plan to squeeze him between two rivers with nowhere left to run. Part 2 follows Christiaan de Wet through Bothaville and Dewetsdorp, into the burning of the Free State and the camps his own resistance helped fill, through a breakout at Springhaansnek and a night raid at Groenkop that briefly looked like it might turn the war again, and on to Vereeniging, where the man who never lost a fight had to sign the peace that lost the war. A story about how long a war can be won, one battle at a time, by the side that's already losing it.A big thanks to SergePavkinMusic for providing the soundtrack.
