Frontiers: The Epic of South Africa's Creation and the Tragedy of the Xhosa People

This book tells the story of the Xhosa people. The book encompasses a huge range of events, from the first Portuguese probes into the Southern Ocean to the black African migrations south, from the Dutch settlement of the Cape to the development of the Boer mentality, from the bizarre and sometimes heroic actions of the colonial governors and generals to the desperate frontier wars that broke the Xhosa people.
