In spite of the odd typo and grammatical error, I didn't find that they took away from my enjoyment of this book, nor of the information gleaned. There is some excellent historical data to be had here that is difficult to find elsewhere. And for that, Binckes should be applauded.I found the last set of chapters after the Battle of Boomplaats in 1848 very interesting. Of particular note was the chapter on the skirmishes between the various chieftains in the Sovereignty. My only criticism is that one is apt to get lost knowing who is who after a while, thus necessitating a second read. The chapter on the signing of the Sand River Convention was also very interesting.I think Binckes has done an excellent job with his background research, especially of characters that don't make it into the pages of our formal history books. I therefore recommend this book as an additional read to the history books already out there on the Great Trek. It will definitely enhance the reader's understanding of both the social and political milieu of the times.
This is not a serious history book, however much research the author has done. The author uses a "faction" approach throughout the work, regularly fluffing up the facts he has found with made up stuff about the emotional behaviour of the historical figures. And the editing?! Appalling. Really not worth reading. Rather read the author's novel.
This is one of the most interesting non-fiction books I have read; it is about a subject only a few Americans k ow about (history of SouthAfrica and Boer "treks"to new areas including Zulu wars; British theft of country and the bravery of the Boers. You will enjoy it greatly and be much better educated about this area's history!
A mass of facts, often poorly written and repetitive, and I found the direction and story hard to find and follow. Modern phrases, similes, and episodes (Mandela) were thrown in - a bit odd! Facts appeared not to be properly cross-checked, and editing sloppy, e.g. cordite was not in use until 1890's and then in pre-loaded rifle cartridges, not in muzzle-loading weapons. Where did all the livestock come from? I would have liked to have seen weights and measures in the original units, perhaps with current units alongside.Despite these and other annoyances, I learnt a lot from the different perspective of the book.I will read it again in a month or so!
Very detailed and interesting history of the settling of South Africa. As an American I knew very little about this history and found it fascinating and very similar to the settling of the American west. I certainly learned a lot.
Excellent book. This book will appeal to most discerning readers, you don't have to live in South Africa, you don't have to have any stake it the history, you don't have to enjoy history, it is just a great book for anyone. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
It's worth reading just to get a good overview of South African history, but I find the book is badly edited and very repetitious.I had the pleasure of hearing Binckes speak when I was in SA and he is a much better and more enthusiastic speaker than a writer. That's why I bought the book when I got back, and also did not want to carry the extra weight while traveling.I find his information is well balanced for the most part - he doesn't take sides but simply relates the facts as well as he can without prejudice. Easy reading but not terribly well written.
This is an amazing recount of the events and times surrounding the Great Trek. Informative, unbiased, interesting and well researched, this book is highly recommended to anyone with a curiosity for history. Mr. Binckes tells it as it is, as if he was there. I can not wait for him to write more on the theme of Southern African history.
