The Dynamite Company

First Edition 1964

Hardvover

A.P. Cartwright

This book tells you the Story of the explosives industry from the time of the Kruger's Republic to the present Day. Cecil Rhodes, Ernrst Oppenheimer & Lord McGowan all played leading roles in this Company.A P Cartwright has covered all the intrigues surrounding this Company.

In 1896 an explosives factory arose at Modderfontein near Johannesburg. Because of the importance of dynamite and other explosive substances manufactured, the factory became the focus of much political controversy, as well as the people who reaped the profits of this most profitable monopoly on things that go boom.

The book continues the story of the explosives industry in South Africa and the importance it played and still plays in commercial mining and the manufacture of war materiel. It even serves the agricultural industry in the manufacture of fertilizers.

The industry is also connected to the global explosives industry and often joins hands with overseas parties, with much politics and covert deals driving it. It therefore is also intertwined with the history of South Africa and the world at large.
