Adam Hochschild (Author)
History lies heavily on South Africa, and Adam Hochschild brings to bear a lifetime’s familiarity with the country in an eye-opening work that blends history and reportage. Hochschild looks at the tensions of modern South Africa through a dramatic prism: the pivotal nineteenth-century Battle of Blood River — which determined whether the Boers or the Zulus would control that part of the world — and its contentious commemoration by rival groups 150 years later. This incisive book offers an unusual window onto a society that remains divided. In his epilogue, Hochschild extends his view to the astonishing political changes that have occurred in the country in recent years — and the changes yet to be made.
