Description
“Here is the dramatic story of the Transvaal from 1884 until 1900 – a period which covers a singularly lurid stretch of South Africa’s past. All the fantastic intrigue, corruption and double-crossing which led to the grim climax of the Anglo-Boer War, is described with a wealth of detail and anecdote. The remarkable story of the Witwatersrand provides an often hilarious background to a history of events so important, that they are still of vital interest to every South African of to-day”. – from Abe Books
