Originally published in 1972, this book covers South African
history from the earliest times up to 1968. After portraying the
land itself, its people and their migrations, it describes what
early travellers found and the arrival of the first white settlers
in 1652 under the aegis of the Dutch East India Company. The
arrival of the British in 1795, the period of expansion, Wars of
Dispossession, the founding of the Boer republics, discovery of
gold and diamonds, the Anglo-Boer war and Union are all discussed.
Showing that the roots of Apartheid lay deep in South Africa's
history, which repeated itself again and again, the author
concludes 'The tragedy and shame of it is that for so long there
was such a fiercely glowing faith in British rule and British
justice; yet when Britain had the power to check and control
discrimination she did not.'
