2 in stock
Conspirators in Conflict by Denys Rhoodie is a detailed historical examination of one of the most controversial episodes in South African history—the Johannesburg Reform Committee and its involvement in the political conspiracy against the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (South African Republic) during the turbulent years preceding the Anglo-Boer War. Published in 1967 by Tafelberg-Uitgewers, this important first edition Conspirators in Conflict offers an in-depth analysis of the political tensions surrounding the Jameson Raid, the ambitions of the Rand mining magnates, and the complex relationships between British imperial interests and the Boer government under President Paul Kruger.
Drawing extensively on historical records, correspondence and contemporary accounts, Rhoodie presents a comprehensive interpretation of the motives, personalities and events that shaped the Reform Movement. Rather than merely recounting the well-known events of the Jameson Raid, the author explores the political, economic and diplomatic factors that contributed to the crisis, making Conspirators in Conflict an essential reference for historians, researchers and collectors of Africana.
Conspirators in Conflict remains a significant contribution to South African historiography and is particularly sought after by collectors interested in Boer history, Anglo-Boer War origins, Johannesburg history, political studies and rare Africana publications. First editions published by Tafelberg are becoming increasingly difficult to locate in superior condition, particularly complete with their original dust jackets.
An excellent addition to any collection focusing on South African political history, Africana, Boer Republics, military history or the development of Johannesburg during the late nineteenth century.
