White Shop
I‘ve fixed the shop. This is my little online shop that I set up in 2019 as an experiment. I‘ve revived it and will be adding new products weekly.


Stonewall Jackson is one of the amazing Generals on the Confederate side. I was reading that when he went into battle, he always took 2 books with him: (1). The Bible
(2). The Maxims of Napoleon.

I have a copy of the Maxims of Napoleon. That is a discussion for another day. But Napoleon’s military advice was collated together and printed in a book called the Maxims of Napoleon.

It gives detailed military advice. It is a sophisticated book.

Its far more complex than say, Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

I was pleased to see that Jackson was a fan of Napoleon. I recall there was one of his campaigns that was incredibly brilliant, and perhaps Napoleon’s maxims were the inspiration for that?

Who are we? Boers or Afrikaners? Answer from Dr Mike Du Toit
I had someone write to me about the topic of Boers versus Afrikaners. I decided to approach Dr Mike Du Toit, who was the leader of the Boeremag, and who is a professional academic who is very well versed in our history to answer this. Dr Du Toit not only knows our history in South Africa but also our history in Europe. This was his answer.
