Synopsis
Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) seized control of ninety per cent of the world's diamond production, made another fortune in gold and then carved out a 'personal' empire in Africa ten times the size of the United Kingdom. He has been both idolized and vilified ever since. In this superb biography, Antony Thomas teases out the complex truth. Capturing the excitement of the imperial adventure, he also assesses its long-term impact and exposes the many myths Rhodes created about himself.
