Who was this man Piet Retief?

The author approaches this question with an open mind and with compelling honesty and integrity.

The result is fascinating reading

"It will pain many white South Africans to learn that Piet Retief, whom they have been made to believe was a great national hero, is not entitled to that distinction at all. But there it is: the story of his life is one of failure from the very day he started on his own until the day he died on Hlomo-ambutu.".

But then the question may be posed....which leader is perfect?
