Blood on the Path: A Saga of the Founding of South Africa 100 Years Ago by Tyson, Harvey

Softcover, ISBN 9780620431613
Publisher: Springbok Press, 2009
Used - Very Good: Springbok Press, 2009-03-01. First Edition

A historical saga of the 50 years (1870-1920) depicting the opposing forces who conceived and finally established the South African nation. Two thriller-action events start the story, each based closely on facts about a barehanded fight with a leopard, and death in a whale-boat dragged across False Bay.

Drama and romance sustain the epic history, but fact and fiction are clearly delineated in the text and indices. The facts are viewed through fictional participants in the heavily disputed making of South Africa – so that San hunters, Malay fishermen, boer farmers, black mineworkers and white women without votes may also have their say, along with Rhodes, Merriman, Jabavu, Smuts, Botha, Soga, Hofmeyr and the rest. They show that the rainbow nation should have been twice as big and twice as bright.
