1978 printing.  Soft cover, 469 pages. Very good condition. Under 1kg. “One of the first histories to treat non-whites as active self conscious protagonists in twentieth-century South African affairs rather than as a dark acquiescent host before which the really important story of white South Africa unfolds.  The new edition has been corrected and eight new chapters extend the coverage to the end of 1963.  It is an important addition to the literature about South Africa.”— The Historian Eddie Roux, one of the early pioneers of radical non-racial activism in colonial South Africa has written this wonderful book which blends historical facts with empathy for his subject. He locates the struggle for freedom in South Africa within the broader context of the struggle for radical change. The early attempts at drawing a non-racial perspective, the internal battles of the Communist Party of South Africa as it was grappling with articulating a theory of class struggle appropriate to South Africa...The book is truly a tribute to the enduring spirit of the fight for freedom in South Africa.

Initially not selected for the 1906 tour, he was included at the last moment due to an injury to another player. He captained the 1912 Springboks on the second tour to Europe and was the first man to take a Springbok head on tour with the team! An outstanding boxer and walker, he did not allow a Boer War wound deter him from playing sport. Millar's book provides unbiased commentary on many of the games of the 1906/12 tours. Despite being severely wounded in World War I, he continued to serve rugby in SA in his later years.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 4 - 8 working days The South African War, popularly known as the Boer War, is memorable for many reasons. It was a final act to the great European scramble for colonies in Africa, and unique in that it saw the colonizing power making near-modern war on a group of white Africans. It was, however, not solely an affair between Boer and Briton. Indeed, one of the ironies of what was officially regarded as a "white man's war" is to be found in the numbers of black Africans who were also caught up in its violence, as both participants and victims. A century later we can more clearly see, recount and analyze events that have often been distorted or barely acknowledged.;This reference work starts with a chronology of South Africa from pre-colonial times to 1994, followed by a synopsis of the main events of the war.

PRESIDENT PAUL KRUGER by JOHANNES MEINTJES a Biography.  South African history Meintjies describes his portrayal of Paul Kruger as: “(He) was one of the most extraordinary men ever produced by South Africa, and the story of his life proves it. He was a professionally lonely man and a dreamer of dreams, a devoted husband and parent, a giant in the physical and mental sense, and in the end just a weary old man with an invincible faith in the will of God, waiting for what was to be revealed in His own good time.” Historical black and white photos Passbook Club Edition 1974 FIRST EDITION. 295P.   Condition: Hard cover, dust jacket  excellent condition,  Packaging and Postage R48 (in S.A.)

He played for   Derbyshire   from 1978 to 1982 in 106 matches, scoring 7,722 runs at an average of 49.50. In South Africa he played for Western Province in 133 matches, scoring 9,087 runs at an average of 41.88.  At the end of 1991, South Africa was invited to rejoin the   International Cricket Conference. Kirsten played in all three ODIs, scoring 86 not out in the final match, earning him the man of the match award. Controversy surrounded the selection of the   1992 World Cup   team, when   Clive Rice,   Jimmy Cook   and Kirsten were omitted from the preliminary team. All three players were stalwarts of South African cricket during the exile years. Kirsten was eventually recalled to the team and became the team's most prolific run scorer at the tournament.
