All of that leads me to suggest a name no one has yet put on the list, who fought for a people whose very existence is now even less "politically correct" than our fellow Americans of the Old South. The actual father of modern guerilla warfare was the Boer General Christian De Wet, who with 2,000 Commandoes tied up 250,000 British troops at the height of British power, for two years in the Orange Free State. To really appreciate this staggering accomplishment, you need to know more about the Orange Free State. Much of it is a virtually treeless plane, and those areas where there are hills and formations still afford considerable visibility in most directions.
In the end, De Wet was only defeated when the British put most of the women and children into concentration camps, under very harsh conditions, to prompt their husbands, brothers and fathers to finally surrender, two years after the defeat of the main Boer armies.
