Mostert's history of South Africa was one of those rare sorts of reads that wherever you begin to try to describe it all you can come up with are superlatives that verge on exaggeration. Never before had I recognized the parallels of historical events in which eighteenth and nineteenth century European colonialists---in Africa and America---with self-professed Christian values, put to the test their noble beliefs. Such moral rectitude was in no way translated in the way each dealt with their native populations. Mostert exhaustive analysis provides an important chronicle on the effects of European colonialisn in dismantling a once proud Xhosa nation.
