2020 paperback with 796 pages new and unread, still in its wrapping.

Cecil John Rhodes lived from 1853 to 1902, a brief span, and was the renowned and world-famous founder of Rhodesia (1890-1980), the leading personality and figure in the Victorian world's late nineteenth-century Africa empire.

Rhodes' endeavours shaped the domains of late nineteenth- and twentieth-century Zambesia, and set down the trajectories marking southern Africa, while the Great Powers' record of empire in Africa proved greatly inferior to Rhodesia's. Zambesia's long history of continuous turbulence on a troubled plateau was reversed by Rhodes' Pioneer Column in 1890 when the 'First Rhodesians' arrived following five decades of itinerant white presence in Zambesia. The Occupation of Mashonaland in 1890, conquest of Matabeleland in 1893 and the end of native rebellions in 1896-97 set the stage for decades of enduring prosperity in Rhodesia, Rhodes' most enduring legacy. Pax Rhodesiana lasted ninety years, ending in a civil war.

Then, Rhodes' memorabilia and many memorials were subjected to modern cultural cleansing, the inheritor state in time eroding and declining into a failing state.
