Additional Information
LORDS of the LAST FRONTIER is the only modern work in English covering the whole story of South West Africa. It has taken Lawrence Green thirty years to gather the material for this fascinating narrative. Here are all the people, White and Black, and the little yellow Bushmen. You see the desert coast, the great cattle and karakul ranches and pleasant towns. Here is the adventure that still lingers on the last frontiers under the Union flag.
It is a book of vivid characters, the tough men and fearless women who made the country. It tells the story of South West Africa magnificently.
Lawrence George Green was a South African journalist and author. He ranks as one of the most prolific writers to come out of Africa. He published on average a book a year between 1933 and 1972, other than the World War 2 years where his duties with the Royal and South African Air Force in north Africa impacted on his free time. In all, he produced 34 books (including a guide for writers), a number of stories for foreign and local magazines and many newspaper articles and letters.
