"You say you want the truth, you can't handle the truth!"

This is not the REwritten pc story of a frontier but the history of those stubborn Afrikaners that turned wilderness into S. Africa.The era paralleled the settling of our own American West with the exception that geography and diseased "fly-belts" had prevented any serious populatng of the area (unlike our native peopled tribal lands).If you like the history channel; then open your media spun preconceived mind and enjoy learning who the displaced people really are in this great continent.

An Excellent Book

I enjoyed "The White Tribe" greatly. It is very well-written and the history that it is based on is extremely interesting (it's a fictionalized account of the author's experiences in the Rhodesian war). It's a pity that it's out of print. However, I do have one problem with it. The author portrays Rev. Andrew Young as a homicidal race-baiting nut case who calls the Republicans in the USA, the Rhodesian whites, and everyone else he disagrees with "Fascists" and "racists" and rails about how all American whites secretly support white rule in Africa. Although Rev. Young supported some causes that were not worthy of the support of a man of his moral standing (Robert Mugabe and Communist-directed army, basically), he is not the lunatic portrayed in the book. I recommend "The White Tribe" to any interested in a good war story and/or history.
