Brought together first as enemies in the Anglo-Boer War, and later
as allies in the First World War, the remarkable, and often
touching, friendship between Winston Churchill and Jan Smuts is a
rich study in contrasts. In youth they occupied very different
worlds: Churchill, the rambunctious and thrusting young aristocrat;
Smuts, the aesthetic, philosophical Cape farm boy who would go on
to Cambridge. Both were men of exceptional talents and achievements
and, between them, the pair had to grapple with some of the
twentieth century's most intractable issues, not least of which the
task of restoring peace and prosperity to Europe after two of
mankind's bloodiest wars. Drawing on a maze of archival and
secondary sources including letters, telegrams and the voluminous
books written about both men, Richard Steyn presents a fascinating
account of two remarkable men in war and peace: one the leader of
the Empire, the other the leader of a small fractious member of
that Empire who nevertheless rose to global prominence.
