Sobre este item
(Johannesburg: Penguin, 2007) 9780143025351. 235 x 154 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. ix + (i) + 257, incl index; plates. Corners of upper cover very slightly curled; earlier owner's name signed on half-title; a little foxing. Very good condition. "The Great War of 1914-18 was a conflict which engulfed the whole world, directly or indirectly. It was an imperialist world war that tugged the new Union of South Africa and its people into a series of separate but connected conflicts - from the domestic Afrikaner Rebellion on the highveld, through the sands of German South West Africa, the steamy bush of German East Africa, and on to the mud and blood of France and Flanders. This book is the first general study of the complex ways in which South Africans experienced the impact of the First World War, and responded to its demands, burdens and opportunities. Told with his customary narrative energy and ironic style, Bill Nasson's new history is a lively account not only of how South Africa fought the war, but also of the miscalculations and illusions that surrounded its involvement, and of how South African society came to imagine and remember that great and terrible conflict." .
