Rhodes, the Tswana, and the British

.,."this book is a pioneering work on the intricacies of nineteenth-century British imperialism in both parts of Bechuanaland. It is remarkably well organized, conceptually innovative, thoroughly documented, and gracefully written. Not only will it be of the utmost significance to experts on Botswana, but also it will be welcomed by students of comparative colonial policy, comparative politics, international politics, and African domestic politics. Without a doubt, it is one of the handful of truly significant studies on Botswana published since that nation's independence in 1966."-Africana Journal
