A History of South Africa - Welsh, Frank

Frank Welsh's large and magisterial history of South Africa brings out the underlying pattern of the country's development: a complex and uneasy co-existence of races and cultures stretching back over 500 years to which European immigration in the 17th century merely added a new and explosive element; and a country in which change has always been rapid, often violent and frequently stressful. This makes it likely, the author suggests, that the future of South Africa in the post-apartheid era will be no less violent than in its tumultuous past. (Kirkus UK)
