xxix, 1355 pages: illustrations, genealogical table, portraits, maps. Cloth spine, paper covered boards, dust wrapper. Some slight spotting to endpapers. Fore-edge not trimmed.

Published to little fanfare in South Africa, it is clear over a quarter of a century later, how important Mostert's work is and will remain. A carefully researched and well-written examination of the cauldron that was the Eastern Cape, whilst focusing on the Xhosa who bore the brunt of the Cape colonial expansion. Hard to find in hardcover.
