Louis Botha: A Man Apart – Richard Steyn

Richard Steyn masterfully illuminates the life of Louis Botha, a brilliant Boer general turned statesman and the first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa. Once a victor over the British, Botha—alongside Jan Smuts—championed reconciliation between English and Afrikaner after the Anglo-Boer War, leading the colonies to Union in 1910. A big-hearted, globally respected figure, his principled statesmanship was severely tested when he reluctantly put down an Afrikaner rebellion in WWI. This biography reveals the complex legacy of a man whose quest for unity was tragically cut short.
