The story of the nine 'Kaffir' wars, fought in the 18th and 19th centuries between the whites and the Xhosa nation, form the heart of this astonishing book. In a comparatively small area of land, eastwards from the Cape, on territory demarcated by the Great Fish and the Great Kai Rivers. It was here that the crucial frontier was variously to be found - the volatile border where colonial expansion met local intransigence and brutal warfare proved the only solution to the impasse. The author vivdly recounts this momentous story and its appalling aftermath - the self-immolation of the Xhosa. His starting point is the arrival of the first visitors to the Cape, the Portuguese, in 1492. In an epilogue he observes that the end of the wars did not mean the end of the agony, but rather a legacy of pain and anger that to this day shapes South African society.

Summary: The collective story of the sons and daughters of Gabriele Rossetti moves among political radicals, bohemian artists and writers, withdrawn intellectuals and reclusive dreamers. Collectively they were a fascinating creative family whose closely woven story has never been told as such because the notoriety of one and the genius of another have served to eclipse the remaining two.
