'This book is of considerable historic importance as an authentic account of the Revolutionary strike at Johannesburg in 1922, a disastrous and bloodthirsty affair which almost led to the establishment of a Soviet form of Government.
Col. Godley's reminiscences will be of interest to South Africans and others having connections with that country, as they cover a period of continuous service with the Police Force from 1896 to 1921, and the author came into contact with all the most prominent personalities of that period.' - editor's note
This book also includes chapters on the Mashona Rebellion, the Anglo-Boer War, the 1913 Miners' Strike, the 1914 Coal and Mine Strike, and the 1914 Rebellion.
