### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
*by M***Y on 29 August 2017*

Quite a heavy read, full of facts

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good overview of South African history
*by J***D on 6 June 2020*

I confess I knew nothing about the history of South Africa and decided to learn a bit about it. I think that Leonard Thompson's book provides one a good summary and overview of the history of this complex and fascinating country. The books starts in the 16th century (pre-European arrival) and then explores the Dutch East India days (1652-1795)... the Afrikaner trek (~1830-50s) and much more - including the more recent history elements of post-Apartheid.
