Lobengula - The Tragedy of a Matabele King

1963 first edition hardcover in yellow cloth in near fine condition. 318 pages.

The simple story of a very remarkable Matabele King, a man of leadership and ability, who established his own kingdom in the present Rhodesias.

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.
