About this book
The Randlords is the riveting tale of how an ambitious, eccentric crew of adventurers, magnates, and financiers invaded South Africa at the end of the last century, mined vast fortunes in gold and diamonds, and in the process laid the economic, social, and political foundations, including the apartheid system, that continue to shake this great and complex land. - Back cover.
