Synopsis
This sweeping one-volume narrative surveys the whole range of South African history from earliest times until 1990. The fourth edition synthesises recent scholarship, especially in the areas of prehistory and the conflicts of the early nineteenth century, while the country's internal political story is updated to the release of Nelson Mandela, and its external relations to the independence of Namibia.

'This work is a remarkable tour de force; to have managed to deal so brilliantly within the compass of a few hundred pages with the fascinating history of South Africa from prehistoric times right up to the second democratic elections of that beloved country'. - the Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, Emeritus Archbishop of Cape Town
'Probably the best one-volume work on the subject yet published.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times Educational Supplement
