About This Item
(Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball, 1996) 1868420353. 234 x 155 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 368, incl. index; two maps; illustrations in text. Spine sunned; lower cover a little scuffed. Very good condition. "Antony Thomas's biography of Cecil Rhodes is a brilliant study of one of the nineteenth century's major historical figures. At its heart is the story of Britain's race for Africa, but Rhodes's own story is that of a young man corrupted by the pursuit of power and driven by the knowledge that his life would be short. The fact that he was a visionary who could reach out to others, whatever their race, and inspire them with a sense of purpose only serves to exacerbate the tragedy of Rhodes's legacy to the African continent, if not the whole world." .
