Publisher's illustrated hardcover with illustrated dust jacket.

xx + 164pp. Map endpapers. Illustrated.

'This book deals with a little-known aspect of Transvaal history. What has so far been written about the Maleboch War is not only superficial but is based on official White documents which do not do justice to the Black man's point of view, in this case Maleboch and his people.

The missionary Sonntag has given a penetrating ethnological and psychological analysis of the attitudes and the mentality of the Black man. In an attempt to be fair to both sides, he has dealt clearly and sympathetically with the 19th century conflict between the under-developed Blacks in their tradition- and tribe-bound state, and the Whites in their efforts to subjugate them.

Sonntag was a keen observer, he understood the vagaries of human nature, and his judgments are reliable.'
