2 thumbs up!

Very informative and excellent editorial! (Good research on graphics and pictures too!) It's definitely one of the best History publications that I ever read on SA. The best part I found about this book is its excellent chronological order way down to the earliest time before the Dutch moved-in in the early 16th century. Which is good because most of the publication I come across seems to ignore it. In add-ons, the book also comprises different points of view from not only from the old ruling class (Afrikaners) but also includes the voices of people from different ethnics. In all, it is truly a book of which contents extensive information on history; politics; social development of South Africa. And it is definitely a book for everyone SA history lovers should have!
