Diamonds, Gold and War: The Making of South Africa

Autor Martin Meredith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2008
An sweeping history of the making of South Africa by the bestselling and acclaimed author of THE STATE OF AFRICA. The prize was great - not just land, but the riches it held, in the form of diamonds and gold. What became a country called South Africa was, until 1910, a vast and untamed land where great fortunes could be made (and lost); where great battles were fought (and lost); and where great men had their reputations forged, or dashed, or sometimes both. Martin Meredith charts the making of South Africa whilst capturing the colours and textures of the land.
