Roy Welensky was a man who could rightly be called fabulous. From Cape to Cairo menu talked of him - son of a poor Swedish Immigrant who became one of Africa's leading figures. Some claimed him to be the man "on whom the mantle of Rhodes has fallen". Others called him "a political super-boss," hungry for personal power. Few men had a more colorful life than Welensky. In his childhood he knew poverty and the humiliation of being the underdog. His fists brought him fame in the boxing ring and his fighting spirit a trade union leader. A knowledge of men, an uncanny foresight, further took him into the forefront of Rhodesian politics. The Rhodesian - is not only a story told with skill and insight, but is a vital contribution to Africa's history. Hardback, very good condition.
