This comprehensive, illustrated biography is the first of its kind to be written about General Jan Smuts, the famous South African politician, statesman, soldier and philosopher. The book is an extensive photographic record of the life of this great man, featuring more than 400 pictures. It uses sources from his wide-ranging correspondence, to reflect his views on such matters as Afrikaner Nationalism, voting rights for black people, the Indians, the Palestinian and Irish issues, the League of Nations, the United Nations Organisation, the atom bomb and the future of South African in general. International figures such as Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chaim Weizmann, Gandhi and many others feature prominently in this account.
