Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of an African Crisis: Being the Truth About the Jameson Raid and Johannesburg Revolt of 1896 Told With the Assistance of the Leading Actors in the Drama The part of this little book which deals with the House of Commons Inquiry is new. The part which tells the Story of the Raid and Revolt is also new to the English public, and has been in the hands of the South African public not many weeks. "The Story of a Crisis," published as the 1896 Christmas Number of the Cape Times, was intended for both these audiences; but the whole edition was exhausted by Cape Town, or at least by Cape Colony, eleven thousand copies being bought on the day of publication. Thus England was left practically unsupplied, though the reviewers have written, very kind things already on the strength of the few copies that were accessible. By permission of the proprietors of the Cape Times, I have therefore arranged with Messrs. Archibald Constable & Co. that they should issue the Story in its present form, adding, besides some documentary Appendices which I hope will be found useful for reference, an Introduction dealing with the immediate developments of the hour. As to the division of authorship, I am indebted to my friend and colleague, Mr. E.J. Edwards, for the most part of Chapters ix., xii., xiv., xv., the idea throughout being to make the narrative as far as possible first-hand.
