Until the lions are taught to write, history will always be written by the hunters'. In the early planning stages of Freedom Park Robin Binckes participated as a member of the history subcommittee. The amount of debate and argument, much of it heated, astounded him. Practically every event discussed was interpreted from diametrically differing viewpoints. One of the most controversial topics was the Great Trek, the 1836 Boer exodus from the Cape Colony. Traditionally writers on the subject have covered the event from a perspective not only of 'white history' but predominantly of 'Afrikaner history'. It has always been seen as 'an Afrikaner event'. It was anything but. As the Great Trek and the events leading up to it involved every section of the population-Zulu, Sotho, Ndebele, Xhosa, Khoisan, Khoikhoi, Colored, British, English-speaking South African and Boer-it is time to portray the trek in that light, in the context of a unbiased, modern South Africa. Like most history the dots are all connected; it is impossible to separate the Great Trek from events which took place as far back as the Portuguese explorers because those early events shaped the backdrop to the causes of the Great Trek. Most writers have specialized in the trek itself whereas Binckes has adopted a broader approach that studies the impact of the earlier white incursions and migrations-Portuguese, Dutch, French and British-on southern Africa, to create a better understanding of the trek and its causes. Drawing heavily on eyewitness accounts wherever possible, he has consolidated these with the perspectives of leading historians, the final product being an objective and comprehensive record of one of the seminal events in South African history. This book shows that the Afrikaner was, is, and always will be, an important player in South African society, but it shows him as part of a bigger picture. The author distances himself from the noble characters stereotyped for the past two centuries and portrays them in their true light: wonderful, courageous people with human feelings, strengths and failings. Robin Binckes was born in East Griqualand, South Africa in April 1941. After matriculating in Umtata, Transkei, he did his national service at the South African Navy Gymnasium, Saldanha Bay. In 1970 he opened his own PR company to promote major sporting events ranging from international cricket to Formula One Grand Prix during the period of sports isolation. In 1990 he started The Gansbaai Fishing Company and spent ten years in the food industry. During the violence that swept South Africa in 1993 he volunteered as a peace monitor in the townships. Sparked by the passion of the late historical orator David Rattray, he qualified in 2002 as a historical tour guide, conducting tours in the Johannesburg-Pretoria region through his company 'Spear of the Nation'. His first book, Canvas under the Sky, a best-selling novel on the Great Trek, was published in 2011 and continues to fuel lively debate.

First World War - British Army Service Corps Shoulder Title. These were the unsung heroes of the War who at all costs had to get supplies such as food, equipment and ammo through to the troops in the front lines and who received very little mention in the books on the wars. Both loops intact.

Subtitle: The Diary of a Siege Author: Alan Chalmers Publisher: Covos Day () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: X ISBN-13: Condition: As New - Contains a fold out map of the Ladysmith Siege and the Battles of Colenso, Vaal Krantz, Elandlaagte and Nicholson's Neck. Binding: Softcover Pages: 321 Dimensions: cm +++ by Alan Chalmers +++ Bombardment of Ladysmith Anticipated tells the story of the Siege of Ladysmith from the perspective of George Charles Maidment, a British orderly who survived the 119 days of the siege. Alan Chalmers has reproduced George Maidment's diary in full with only minor corrections and included his own insightful commentary. This is a fascinating and detailed account of events of the siege: the daily tedium, the fighting, the sniping, the lack of food and the disgust at having to eat their own horses.  'Of the myriad of books published for the Anglo-Boer War Centenary this is one of the best illustrated and most well written' - Meurig Jones, Victorian Military Society.    A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.

Three bookshop stamps in book. -Spearheading the British assault waves in every Allied invasion landing during the Second World War were parties of khaki-clad naval officers and ratings, whose principal tasks were to secure the beachhead in the teeth of enemy defensive fire and direct and control the arrival of successive waves of landing craft bringing ashore the main body of the fighting troops and their equipment. Above the famous Combined Operations badge on the shoulders of their battledress they wore a special flash which bore the words 'RN Commando', a distinction for which they were fully qualified.Not only were they required to control the invasion beaches and, until the landings were assured, remain on them for days on end with little rest or food and under enemy bombing and shelling, their only protection a slit trench, they were also expected to undertake a variety of roles unrelated to that for which they had been specially trained. Their work was considered by Force Commanders to be 'the most important and dangerous in any landing'.--------------------------------------Royal Navy Commandos took part in combined operations in Madagascar, at Dieppe, in North Africa, Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, northern Italy and the Adriatic, the steaming, disease-ridden chaungs on the Arakan coast of Burma, and finally in Normandy itself and beyond up to the time of the collapse of the Third Reich.Few know even that Royal Naval Commandos existed, so that this is their previously untold story.
