Lawrence Green--Lords of the Last Frontier

Lawrence Green's, "The Last Frontier" is probably the only modern non-political work in English covering the whole story of South West Africa.The author spent 30 years gathering the material for this fascinating narrative.
Here are all the people.White and Black and the little yellow Bushmen.You see the desert coast ,the great cattle and karakul ranches and pleasant towns. Here was the adventure that lingered on the last frontier under the South African flag.
It is a book full of vivid characters,the tough men and fearless women who made the country.It tells the story of what was South West Africa magnificently.
Full of many original illustrations.
