Generalized polygons with the Moufang property have been classified by \textit{J. Tits} and \textit{R. M. Weiss} [Moufang polygons. Berlin: Springer (2002; Zbl 1010.20017)]. The goal of the paper under review is to give new constructions of generalized polygons which do not have this Moufang property, but still have a strongly transitive group of automorphisms. These constructions are done through model-theoretic techniques. By taking ultraproducts, the author is able to use these examples to construct new examples of groups acting strongly transitively on twin trees and of a group acting on a \(\mathrm{CAT}(1)\) space with some kind of strong transitivity.
