Jan Smuts was lauded as the first successful general of the Allies in the war; as \u201cthe general in whom the whole Empire has most confidence\u201d; as \u201cthe destroyer of the German power in Africa\u201d; as \u201cthe most conspicuous figure in greater Britain\u201d; and as \u201ca remarkable combination of talents not usually found in the same person, unless, indeed, that person belongs to the small and select class of which the Caesars, the Cromwells, and the Napoleons are the outstanding types.\u201d<\/p>\n

His character was described as \u201ctoo spacious and complex to be read offhand.\u201d In an article in the press Mr. Winston Churchill wrote: \u201cAt this moment there arrives in England from the outer marches of the Empire a new and altogether extraordinary man . . . The stormy and hazardous roads he has travelled by would fill all the acts and scenes of a drama. He has warred against us \u2014 well we know it.
