Bancroft +++ Drawn from over 30 eyewitness accounts and letters together with an in depth study of official reports, journals and newspapers printed at the time, new light is shed on several facts that had previously been overlooked in this tragic tale of the battle between Britain and Zulu; fought in defence of the field hospital and storehouse at Rorke's Drift.   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. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge.

Defence against total attack by Anthony Harrigan FIRST EDITION, POLITICAL     Anthony Harrigan argues that conflict is not a disease and that the character of man finds its manifestations in struggle. He says that the theory that non-conflict can only lead to the enslavement of mankind.  “Life without conflict would be a reduction of man’s existence tot the pre-human level, to life without quality”, he says. He looks at conflict in the Congo; conflict in the modern world; conflict and Nihilism; war and morality; psychological warfare, toxic warfare, and also has a chapter on South Africa: “strength through struggle” in which he warns against the aggressiveness and global ambitions of “emerging,” nations. He sites England and its “rising tide of immigration” and the spectre of it becoming a coloured country, as an example of what can happen to South Africa.   Nasionale Boekhandel, p.
