Additional Information
The book is a thoughtful biography of Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Somerset, eldest son of Lord Charles Somerset, that sheds light on his overlooked role in shaping South Africas frontier history and combines biography and historical narrative, presenting Somerset as a figure whose contributions were often overshadowed by his father and other prominent contemporaries. Rivett-Carnacs writing emphasizes the Eastern Cape frontier conflicts and Somersets military career, situating him within the broader evolution of South Africa during the 19th century. Readers will find the work valuable for its detailed research and its attempt to restore Somersets place in history, though the prose reflects the style of mid-20th-century Africana scholarship. While not widely known today, Hawks Eye remains a solid resource for those interested in South African military history and colonial politics, offering both a character study and a vivid sense of the historical landscape.
