" Part of the strength of any nation is a sense of its own histoy. To a country such as ours, poised for its step into independence, the feeling of knowing where we have come from is paticularly important. It is this spirit that Rossing dedicates this book to the young people of SWA/Namibia.

History Makers is not intended to be a scholarly work. While every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy, it is intended as an introduction to this country's history ather than as an authoritative final word. It is hoped that the light the book casts on 24 historical characters - some of whom are little known to the general public - will encourage further reading and study."
