Subtitle: Remembering an Imperialist in Africa Author: Paul Maylam Publisher: David Philip () ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Slight scratching on back cover Binding: Softcover Pages: 184 Dimensions: 23 x 15 x 1 cm +++ by Paul Maylam +++ Cecil Rhodes is the most written about and memorialised figure in Southern African history, the subject of well over 25 biographies and numerous articles. Rhodes has featured in novels, plays and films. This title examines the cult that has developed around Rhodes who, to all accounts, was far from an admirable person. Paul Maylam is himself no admirer of Rhodes and his approach to the subject is ironical and critical as he sets out to address the paradox of why such an unappealing person should have been so venerated and commemorated.   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.

Subtitle: Military Operations from Independence to the Mercenary Revolt Series: Africa@War Volume 6 Author: Andrew Hudson Publisher: Helion and Company / 30 Degrees South Publishers () ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good. Binding: Softcover Pages: 64 Dimensions: 29.5 x 20.9 x 0.5 cm +++ by Andrew Hudson +++ Post-independence events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are a veritable Gordian knot. The ambitions of Congolese political leaders, Cold War rivalry, Pan-Africanism, Belgium's continued economic interests in the country's mineral wealth, and the strategic perceptions of other southern African states all conspired to wrack Africa's second largest country with uprisings, rebellions and military interventions for almost a decade. Congo Unravelled solves the intractable complexity of this violent period by dispassionately outlining the sequence of political and military events that took place in the troubled country. The reader is systematically taken through the first military attempts to stabilize the country after independence and the two distinguishing military campaigns of the decade - the United Nations military operations (Organisation des Nations Unies au Congo, or ONUC) to end the secession of the Katanga Province, and the Dragon Operations led by Belgian paratroopers, supported by the US Air Force, launched to end the insurgency in the east of the country - are chronicled in detail. Finally, the mercenary revolt - an event that tainted the reputation of the modern mercenary in Africa - is described.   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.
