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's Followup To His Magisterial The State Of Africa Is An Equally Epic New History Of The Making Of South Africa. Covering The Extraordinarily Eventful Four Decades Leading Up To The Establishment Of The Union Of South Africa In 1910, It Covers Some Of The Most Iconic Tales Of Imperial History. The Zulus At Rorke's Drift; The Jameson Raid; The Diamond And Gold Rushes At Kimberley And Witwatersrand; The Boer Wars; The Titanic Struggle Between The Archimperialist Cecil Rhodes And His Boer Rival, Paul Kruger Diamonds, Gold And War Brings All Of These And More Together In A Stunningly Coherent And Compelling Narrative. History, Somehow, Just Isn't As Colourful Any More.p
