Jan Smuts: An illustrated biography - Trewhella Cameron.

A Photographic coffee table hard cover book.

This comprehensive, illustrated biography is the first of its kind to be written about General Jan Smuts, the famous South African politician, statesman, soldier and philosopher. The book is an extensive photographic record of the life of this great man, featuring more than 400 pictures. It uses sources from his wide-ranging correspondence to reflect his views on such matters as Afrikaner Nationalism, voting rights for blacks, the Indians, the Palestinian and Irish issues, the League of Nations, the United Nations Organization, the atom bomb and the future of South Africa in general.

International figures such as Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chaim Weizmann, Gandhi and many others feature prominently in this account. In his foreword to this book Sir De Villiers Graaff writes: It deals succinctly with the main events of the Oubaass life and with the aid of skillfully chosen excerpts from his letters and speeches, many of which are supported by masterful summaries of the contexts in which they appear, paints an intimate portrait of this most remarkable man.
