Johannes Meintjes provides us with a first full-length study of the Xhosa chief Sandile. Sandile's life-span covers the glory of Xhosa nationhood, the more important wars with the British Colonial Government, the national suicide of the Xhosas and also the tragedy of his personal story. Several portraits - more than of any other chief - of Chief Sandile exist, including some by Frederick I'Ons and Thomas Baines. Reproductions of a number of these are included in the book.
A bibliography and index and more than 30 photographs and sketches included. 312 pages. A small marks or two on the cover only.
