This well produced title concentrates primarily on a brief history of the South-Central African Shona and Matebele Kingdoms from Great Zimbabwe, and then the coming of the Boers, and finally the machinations of Rhodes with most detail being applied to the period of 1890 through to 1896. This is the initial Expeditionary Settlement Column and then the First & Second Matabele Wars in 1893 and 1896. Good maps in colour complete this worthwhile title, one that covers in detail a conflict that is nowadays somewhat overlooked.
