by Roger Webster (Editor)

Overview

Now, more than ten years later, Roger Webster is back with another, all new volume of fireside tales of people and events that have shaped this remarkable country. The author brings to life anecdotes from the country's past, either forgotten or, perhaps, left untold as a result of political prejudice, These are tales of courage and failure, honour and greed, hope and despair, unexpected and extraordinary achievements but, ultimately, stories of real people.

About the Author

He spends a lot of time in libraries and archives all over the country, but enjoys most hearing the little-known oral histories that he garners on his travels. These are sometimes alarming, intensely interesting and often controversial. Roger 'has a nose’ for South African history
