Over a hundred years ago England's mining magnates despatched a column to seize the gold rich Boer Republic for her Empire. When their infamous 'Raid' failed, they devised an audacious plan to snatch the gold-fields without having to go to war for them. They hired political engineer Franz von Veltheim to kidnap the Boer President. But Europe's power-brokers, enriched by a century of wars selling arms to opposing sides, had to stop him. In a sweeping saga played out over two continents, allegiances come cheap as major players Barney Barnato, Alfred Beit and Jan Smuts betray, and are themselves betrayed. How the intrigue and counterintrigue, the assassination and murder-cum-treason trial climaxed in the Boer War, is a story that was never meant to be told. A novel based on extensive research over 23yrs. Pages yellowed.
