More about the book

Focusing on John Hays Hammond, a key figure in the narratives of Cecil Rhodes and Leander Starr Jameson, this book reexamines the historical context of a significant raid by situating it within American history rather than British. By exploring Hammond's role, the author reveals connections between the American Old West and South Africa's Highveld, prompting a reevaluation of the intertwined histories of three nations over the past 120 years.
