This is Afrikaans historian Gustav Preller's only known work that was written in English. It was published thirty years after his death.
318pp.
'As the author mentions in his preface, this book is the simple story of a very remarkable Matabele King, a man of leadership and ability, who established his own kingdom in the present Rhodesias. It had, alas, also to be the story of his downfall, and of the manner of his downfall.
The work aims in the first place at defending the case of Lobengula against European encroachments. Striking revelations are made in regard to the tussle between Kruger and Rhodes and the latter is sometimes dethroned in a somewhat harsh matter. But Kruger also does not escape the verdict of history.'
