The making of a nation tells the story of South Africa from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. The title takes the reader from the cataclysm of the Anglo-Boer War, through the dark days of apartheid and armed struggle, to the miracle of reconciliation and democracy. Within this history there are exceptional people, among them the young Mohandas Gandhi, who began his work as an activist in South Africa; Jan Smuts, who journeyed from Anglo-Boer War general to member of Churchill's war cabinet; and Nelson Mandela, who emerged from prison to lead his country to peace and freedom. Chapters end with a Spectrum featuring arts, entertainment, science and sport, to give a complete picture of society during each period. Beautifully designed and richly illustrated with photographs, this book is a collector's item.
