Elsabé Brits het Emily se handgeskrewe notas, dagboeke en plakboeke in 'n trommel in Kanada ontdek, en haal hieruit en uit ander nuwe bronne aan. Só gee sy 'n genuanseerde, vars blik op 'n buitengewone vrou wat voortdurend in die spervuur was. Van kleintyd het Emily haar verset teen haar lot. Vir vroue was daar min geleenthede en sy moes boonop haar siek pa oppas. Tog raak sy wêreldwyd betrokke by die stryd teen onreg en oorlog. In twee oorloë het sy duisende lewens gered, en nogtans is sy - 'n ware patriot - in haar eie land onbekend en alleen dood. As kampvegter vir vrouestemreg en in haar uitgesproke teenkanting teen onreg is Emily Hobhouse 'n ikoon wat vandag nog inspireer.

She was a feminist, a pacifist and an internationalist, and above all a humanitarian. She worked tirelessly for the disadvantaged and, in the case of the South African women and children who were herded into concentration camps by Lord Kitchener, was relentless in expounding their cause. This took great courage.

After the war she travelled through the ravaged areas of South Africa and devised a successful scheme of home industries for young girls on isolated farms. Illness forced her to seek refuge in Italy where she remained almost to the beginning of World War I, and began her famous correspondence first with J C Smuts and then with Isabel Steyn. Her comments on the events of the day show unusual foresight. She was loved by the people of South Africa and admired by those like Mahatma Gandhi who asked for her help. She was a bit of a painter, a writer and an entertainer, and in spite of ill-health travelled easily between countries, even in the midst of the first World War when she went to Germany and hoped to obtain peace. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003eReturning to Europe after that war Emily Hobhouse put into a place a number of schemes to help the impoverished, but the cry of the children of Leipzig won her particular sympathy, and with the help of the Save the Children Fund and later the South Africans she devised a feeding scheme for them.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expand__inner-content\"\u003eThe South Africans so admired her that they clubbed together to buy her a little house in Cornwall, at St. Ives.

By 1914, a confirmed pacifist, she felt passionately that civilians suffered more than combatants. Throughout the war she was anxious for a negotiated peace. In Switzerland, in 1916, through the German Ambassador—extraordinarily—she obtained permission to visit German-occupied Belgium and Berlin. A chance meeting with the German Foreign Secretary made her realize peace talks were possible. She put forward a plan to get talks started, to which he agreed, but in England she was snubbed by the Foreign Office. She worked tirelessly for the release of civilian internees and better food for Belgium. Her \"Open Christmas Letter\" was answered in a letter by 155 prominent Pacifist and feminist German and Austrian women. Emily Hobhouse was an extraordinary woman and a key figure in the struggle for women’s emancipation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"gr-h1 gr-h1--serif\" id=\"bookTitle\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"bookAuthors\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37576595079318,"sku":"Agent of Peace","price":425.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210113_185236.jpg?v=1610725236"},{"product_id":"living-the-love-emily-hobhouse-post-war-1918-1926-by-hobhouse-balme-jennifer","title":"Living the Love: Emily Hobhouse post-war (1918-1926) by Hobhouse Balme, Jennifer","description":"\u003cp\u003eHighly Collectible.

He would go on to write a prodigious 65 books in his lifetime. He was rewarded for this in 1953 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Yet in Britain his abilities as a writer were already widely recognized by the end of the 19th century. Yet oddly enough he had not excelled academically at school and it was only on his third attempt that he passed the entrance examination to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore entering politics he went on to combine his military career with journalism and shortly after the outbreak of the South African War in 1899, he was contracted as a war correspondent for the Morning Post. He made his way to the Natal front where he was destined to become one of the highest-paid newspaper reporters in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch has been made of Churchill’s heroism. The exceptional courage he displayed when defending the derailed armoured train at Chieveley in Natal made his reputation. Yet strictly speaking as a journalist he was a non-combatant, but on his capture, the Boers treated him as a combatant because of his actions at the armoured train.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was not an isolated incident of bravery for on other occasions, in Cuba , India and in Africa , his sometimes almost reckless courage had drawn widespread comment. On three different occasions during the Malakand campaign in India , he rode his pony along the skirmish line while everyone else was ducking for cover. He admitted that his actions were foolish, but playing for high stakes was a calculated risk. ‘Given an audience there is no act too daring or too noble’, he wrote to his mother, and concluded his letter by saying: ‘... without the gallery things are different.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScaling the wall surrounding the prison yard in Pretoria and making his way through enemy territory to Portuguese East Africa was not considered a particularly great feat by the British military. Yet his escape — he was largely unknown to the British people until then — was hailed by many as one of the greatest military escapes ever. His instant fame, to a large degree, came about because the war was going badly for the British Army at the time. A depressed British people needed a hero to bolster their sagging enthusiasm for the war, so Winston Churchill was their man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe had the need to stay in the limelight to fuel his political ambitions and the best way to achieve that was by returning to the front as a journalist and part-time soldier after his escape where he continued to captivate the readers of the Morning Post with his dispatches, writing convincingly about his own and other’s front-line experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis stories of how he miraculously escaped the bullets that whistled around him in Natal and the Orange Free State and how he rode a bicycle through enemy-held Johannesburg, ending with his triumphant returned to Pretoria where he helped to liberate his former fellow POW's from captivity, earned his newspaper a fortune.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that the adventures he described sometimes did not happen exactly the way he related them didn't seem to bother anyone. William Manchester wrote: ‘Virtually every event he (Churchill) described in South Africa , as in Cuba , on the North-West Frontier, and at Omdurman , was witnessed by others with whom recollections were consistent. The difference, of course, lay in the interpretation.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI set out to discover the real Churchill in those early years of his life. During this process I discovered many facets to this complex and controversial man. At times I felt like a certain painter described by Cervantes. This sage artist was asked, as he was starting on a new canvas, what his picture was to be. ‘That’, he replied, ‘is as it may turn out.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo this, my account of how the young and extraordinary Winston Churchill became a hero during the South African War, is how it turned out.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galago Publishing Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37624736874646,"sku":"Winston Churchill: The Making of a Hero in the South African War","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210121_201705.jpg?v=1611254191"},{"product_id":"armando-baldinelli-by-albert-werth","title":"Armando Baldinelli by Albert Werth","description":"\u003cp\u003eSigned inscription by the Artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmando Baldinelli by Albert Werth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Gallery Twenty-One Publishers (Pty) Ltd, London and Johannesburg, 1974\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsed - Very Good +. 127 pages (complete).

He was also a critic of colonial rule and an early advocate of self-government for colonial territories in Africa and of what became known as development aid.\u003cbr\u003eMacmillan was born in Aberdeen, Scotland on 1 October 1885.William Macmillan travelled to South Africa in 1891 with his mother and five elder siblings to join his father, who was working at the Victoria College, Stellenbosch, now the University of Stellenbosch. He attended the Boys High School, Stellenbosch, and did the first two years of the BA degree at the Victoria College, matriculating in 1901 and passing the intermediate exams in 1903. Following the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, Macmillan was in 1903 one of the first group of Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University in England. MacMillan studied modern history at Merton College and graduated in 1906.\u003cbr\u003eWhile in Grahamstown, Macmillan did pioneering work on poverty among white South Africans. He was the only English-speaking delegate at the Dutch Reformed Church congress on White Poverty, which was held at Cradock, Eastern Cape in 1916. Macmillan's first published work appeared anonymously as a pamphlet, Sanitary Reform for Grahamstown in 1915. This was followed in the same year by Economic Conditions in a Non-industrial South African Town. I\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003en 1918, Macmillan did substantial fieldwork on white poverty in rural areas, resulting in lectures and a book, The South African Agrarian Problem and its Historical Development, published in Johannesburg in 1919.\u003cbr\u003eMacmillan was one of the first people to articulate a vision of South African as a single society. This view brought him into conflict with the segregationist government of the day as well as with liberal segregationists. He became chairman of the Johannesburg Joint Council of Europeans and Natives and was involved in 1932 with public clashes with the ministers of Native Affairs and of Justice – the latter was Oswald Pirow. After the University of Witwatersrand sought to gag Macmillan, he went on sabbatical leave at the end of 1932, but he did not return to the university.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe resigned in September 1933.\u003cbr\u003eMacmillan retired from St Andrews in 1954 and served for one year, 1954-5, as acting professor of History at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. After his wartime experience in West Africa, he became skeptical about the claims of African Nationalism and was broadly supportive of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which the British government saw as a bulwark against the spread of Afrikaner nationalism from the south and African nationalism from the north.\u003cbr\u003eMacmillan was awarded honorary degrees of D.Litt. by Oxford University in 1957, University of Natal in 1962, and Edinburgh University in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.

By age thirty-four, Rhodes had founded the DeBeers Company, achieving a worldwide monopoly on diamond production. He went on to earn a second fortune in gold, becoming the richest man in the western world before he was forty. A stalwart patriot and racist, Rhodes laid the foundations of modern apartheid and drew Britain into the bloody Boer War.

Born in London in 1851, Selous led an adventurous life gaining a formidable reputation as a big game hunter, a naturalist, a member of the Zoological Society, a fighting man, the author of many books, a contributor of many features to the Royal Colonial Institute in London, and the writer of countless articles for magazines and journals. In 1890 Cecil John Rhodes appointed him chief scout of the Pioneer Column that he despatched into the African interior to settle Mashonaland, which afterwards became Rhodesia and is now Zimbabwe. Selous counted many famous people amongst his friends, including President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt who described him as ‘an absorbing and fascinating companion’. While indiscriminate trophy hunting is rightly no longer fashionable, A Hunter’s Wanderings in Africa’s is a legacy for those living now, for it records what Africa south of what is now Zambia to the Cape of Good Hope was really like more than a 100 years ago. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe writes of areas then teeming with game, of the indigenous peoples occupying them, Trek Boers and other hunters like himself. The seven plates of antelopes’ heads form a complete series, representing every species, from the smallest to the largest found north of the Limpopo River up to12° south latitude. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914 Selous volunteered for the army but was turned down because at 63 he was considered too old. But shortly afterwards the War Office relented when someone pointed out how useful Selous’ unsurpassed knowledge of the African bushveld would be in the campaign then being waged against the wily Colonel Lettow-Vorbeck in German East Africa. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the 25th Battalion Royal Fusiliers and during the next 18 months he saw considerable action winning a DSO in the process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe was killed in action at Beho-Beho at the age of 65 while leading his men from the front.

In doing so he was guided by the most secret sources of British Intelligence: the daily interception of the messages of the German High Command. These pages reveal, as never before, the links between this secret information and the resulting moves and successes achieved by the Allies.

Afterwards, Tsafendas was declared to be a schizophrenic who believed a tapeworm lived inside him which controlled his actions, and that he had no political motive for assassinating Verwoerd. Pronounced unfit to stand trial, Tsafendas went down in history as a deranged parliamentary messenger. For fifty years, this story prevailed.

This book reveals the extent of the cover-up by South Africa’s authorities and the desperate lengths they went to conceal the existence of Tsafendas’s opposition to apartheid.

On the one side Cecil Rhodes, perhaps the greatest British imperialist of his time – on the other side the Cape Afrikaners, part of the ethnic community which was engaged in a major war with that very empire at the close of the nineteenth century. Rhodes skillfully courted the Cape Afrikaners, despite his ardent imperialism and their autonomous colonial intent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the impact of British imperialism and capitalism set in motion a process of ethnic and political consciousness, it also engendered a desire to be associated with the British. Such was Rhodes’s charm that to some Cape Afrikaners he became a political hero, even an idol. Tamarkin successfully shows that the disengagement of the Cape Afrikaners from Rhodes was neither immediate nor inevitable. It was a painful and long process which was driven not just by the Jameson Raid but by Rhodes’s increasingly provocative conduct. This extraordinary relationship only finally finished in 1898 during the election campaign, in which Rhodes and the Afrikaner Bond fought tooth and nail for control of the Cape Colony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41233920688278,"sku":"Cecil Rhodes and the Cape Afrikaners by Tamarkin, Mordechai","price":480.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20211218_181416.jpg?v=1639907931"},{"product_id":"thomas-pringle-in-south-africa-1820-1826-by-pringle-thomas-wahl-john-robert-ed","title":"Thomas Pringle in South Africa 1820-1826 by Pringle, Thomas \u0026 Wahl, John Robert (ed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThomas Pringle in South Africa 1820-1826 by Pringle, Thomas \u0026amp; Wahl, John Robert (ed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover, ISBN 9780582609211\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Longman Southern Africa, 1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed - Very Good+.

They rushed to the new gold field where they bought farms, pegged claims and dreamed of amalgamating the gold mines of Johannesburg. In 1887 they formed a company with the impressive title of ‘The Gold Fields of South Africa’ to finance these dreams and, more practically, to manage their claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Mr. Rhodes’s diamond mines’ and the immense wealth they brought him have been the theme of many books. But the story of his gold mining interests, and the princely income they earned, has never been told in full, yet it was gold that provided much of the cash that enabled him to establish Rhodesia. In 1895 The Gold Fields of South Africa declared a profit of £2,161,778 – said to be the biggest profit ever earned by a limited liability company in the City of London to that date. Rhodes and Rudd were paid more than £300,000 as their share of the profits. But from that day the company’s misfortunes began.

This company, beaten almost to its knees during the depression in the thirties, made one of the greatest discoveries in mining history and not only changed its own fortunes but was responsible for the opening up of South Africa’s new gold fields and replenishing the gold reserves of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan \u0026 Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41537598881942,"sku":"Gold Paved The Way By A P Cartwright","price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20220309_192304.jpg?v=1646905253"},{"product_id":"interfering-in-politics-a-biography-of-sir-percy-fitzpatrick-by-andrew-duminy-bill-guest","title":"Interfering in politics: A biography of Sir Percy FitzPatrick - Andrew Duminy \u0026 Bill Guest","description":"\u003cp\u003eInterfering in politics: A biography of Sir Percy FitzPatrick - Andrew Duminy \u0026amp; Bill Guest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 094704213X\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Lowry Publishers 1987\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed - Very Good.

Instantly recognizable as the seemingly serene, cool and derached wife of Winston Churchill she had nonetheless shunned publicity throughout her life. In this biography her daughter, Mary Soames, throws light on her mother, writing of Clementine's 57-year marriage to Winston, her strongly held political views and a life which spans many of the major events of the 20th century. Clementine Churchill was the perfect wife for Winston. For 75 years she supported him through the triumphs, disasters and tensions which ruled his public and private life. As a young girl she had a strength of character and distinction of mind, allied to outstanding good looks, that attracted the young and impetuous Winston Churchill. The early years of her marriage coincided with the heyday of the reforming Liberal Government, in which Winston was a leading figure: she was later to describe them as the happiest of her life. Always Winston trusted her completely and she became a valuable counsellor and companion. Clementine was shy, passionate and highly strung, and her self-control was tested to its utmost in the turmoil of public life and in the no less harrowing family crises and the ever-present financial anxieties. But one facet of her life was steadfast: the love she shared with her husband, which was to sustain them both even through the most trying times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassell Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41607571931286,"sku":"Clementine Churchill By Her Daughter Mary Soames","price":195.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20220329_184317.jpg?v=1648726827"},{"product_id":"the-churchills-by-kate-fleming","title":"The Churchills by Kate Fleming","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Churchills By Kate Fleming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 0297769758\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Weidenfeld \u0026amp; Nicolson Ltd 1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed - Very Good.

Murray considered missions to be \"the chief end of the church\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrew Murray was the second child of Andrew Murray Sr. (1794–1866), a Dutch Reformed Church missionary sent from Scotland to South Africa. He was born in Graaff Reinet, South Africa. His mother, Maria Susanna Stegmann, was of French Huguenot and German Lutheran descent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurray was sent to the University of Aberdeen in Scotland for his initial education, together with his elder brother, John. Both remained there until they obtained their master's degrees in 1845. During this time, they were influenced by Scottish revival meetings and the ministry of Robert Murray McCheyne, Horatius Bonar, and William Burns. From there, they both went to the University of Utrecht where they studied theology. The two brothers became members of Het Réveil, a religious revival movement opposed to the rationalism which was in vogue in the Netherlands at that time. Both brothers were ordained by the Hague Committee of the Dutch Reformed Church on 9 May 1848 and returned to the Cape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurray married Emma Rutherford in Cape Town, South Africa, on 2 July 1856. They had eight children together (four boys and four girls).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurray pastored churches in Bloemfontein, Worcester, Cape Town and Wellington, all in South Africa. He was a champion of the South African Revival of 1860.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1889, he was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM), along with Martha Osborn and Spencer Walton. After Martha Osborn married George Howe, they formed the Southeast Africa General Mission (SEAGM) in 1891. SAGM and SEAGM merged in 1894. Because its ministry had spread into other African countries, the mission's name was changed to Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965. AEF joined with Serving In Mission (SIM) in 1998 and continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his writings, Murray was also a key \"Inner Life\" or \"Higher Life\" or Keswick leader, and his theology of faith healing and belief in the continuation of the apostolic gifts made him a significant forerunner of the Pentecostal movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1894, Murray was visited by John McNeill and Rev.

Yet this discredited outlook, so widespread at the time, did not prevent her from writing some good novels with genuine tragic pathos, such as God's Stepchildren (1924), with its haunted, ‘mixed-blood’ protagonist, Barry. Despite her racialism Millin was vehemently anti-Nazi and attacked Nazi ideology in The Herr Witchdoctor (1941). As well as many novels, including Adam's Rest (1922), The Sons of Mrs. Aab (1931), and King of the Bastards (1950), she wrote autobiographical memoirs, war diaries, short stories, and two distinguished biographies, Rhodes (1933) and General Smuts (1936).
