Previously published 1973 - Howard Timmins, Cape Town: "Since Barrier of Spears was first published in 1973 there have been considerable moves towards conservation of the Drakensberg - most of it is now a World Heritage Site. The intervening years have seen advances in knowledge, scientific names have changed, and management and its criteria have been radically altered. All these developments are incorporated by James Byrom in this fully revised edition". 

The brilliant photographic skills of Malcolm Pearse permit the reader to relish the stunning beauty of the Drakensberg while a host of old, historic pictures introduce characters of yesteryear and allow a reliving of times and places bone by.
