Rebellion, migration and empire collide on the high veld as nineteenth century Transvaal steps onto the world stage. In this classic south african history book, John Nixon follows the story from the great trek south africa to the Convention of London, tracing how a remote frontier community became the Transvaal Boer Republic at the heart of imperial controversy. These events still shape us. Written when Victorian era South Africa was still unfolding, his narrative examines power, land and faith, and the uneasy anglo boer relations that framed every treaty and skirmish. Both sweeping overview and closely observed colonial history nonfiction, The Complete Story of the Transvaal stands as an indispensable guide to the politics, personalities and policies that formed the background to the Boer War. Drawing on ministerial declarations and official papers, Nixon provides a contemporaneous perspective on the British Empire in Africa and on debates over sovereignty, annexation and self-government. A valuable history students reference and research edition for scholars of complete transvaal history, it equally rewards the curious reader drawn to primary voices from the period, and serves as essential boer war background reading on nineteenth century Transvaal and Victorian era South Africa. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
