From Library Journal
A British historian, previously known for studies of East Africa and India, has reexamined archival materials to add to the already sizable literature on the soldier and politician who was at the center of the South African stage for over half a century. Although Smuts (1870-1950), who was twice prime minister, foresaw race relations as an important issue for his country's future, his main concern was the unity of white South Africa and the future of Western civilization. Possibly more effective and comfortable abroad than at home, Smuts was one of the architects of the British Commonwealth and of the League of Nations. Recommended for research collections on Southern Africa, the Commonwealth, and 20th-century world politics. Elizabeth A. Widenmann, Columbia University Libs.
