After studying languages at the then University of the Free State, he obtained his doctorate in Zulu at the University of Pretoria and became a full professor in African Languages. Strachan received the Eugène Marais Prize for his debut collection of short stories, 'n Wêreld sonder grense (1984). His works include inter alia the novels Die jakkalsjagter (1990), which won first prize in the DeKat/Antenne Great Novel Competition, and Die werfbobbejaan (1994), for which he received the WA Hofmeyr Prize. He was again awarded the WA Hofmeyr Prize for literature for his novel Dwaalpoort (2010). His most recent novel, Brandwaterkom (2015), which deals with the Anglo-Boer War, won the kykNET-Rapport Book Prize. War, and the Border War in particular, is a central theme in his oeuvre. 1 Recce: The Night Belongs to Us (2018) was his first nonfiction work. With that book, he returned once more to the Bush War and focused specifically on the history of 1 Recce and the unit's role during this war. It found a ready market among diverse audiences worldwide and created an expectation for this sequel. The action-packed 1 Recce: Behind Enemy Lines is the second volume in the three-volume 1 Recce series. Strachan himself was a Recce.view less
