Editorial Reviews

Review


"...the study raises expectations that are not disappointed. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, and forcefully argued, it will rapidly establish itself as indispensable reading...a powerful work of synthesis that provides a running commentary on a burgeoning body of literature on Anglo-South African relations." American Historical Review

"...an expertly researched account...will make a fine addition to the shelf of any imperial scholar." History

"This is a valuable book that brings together a wealth of solid research and original analysis and should stimulate debate and a more complex, sophisticated interpretation of British-South African relations. It belongs in all research libraries and on the bookshelves of imperial scholars." International Journal of African Historical Studies
