Any book recommendations for a White/Boer perspective on SA history?
I am looking for a historical book, preferably encompassing SA from the start of white settlement (but really what I want is a comprehensive history from the Boer Wars to present day or at least 1994).
Ie, a book written by someone that does not spare un-politically correct statements.
I am not looking for any ideological treatise. The book can have an ideological coloration (as it happens, all history books tend to have one, and the ones on SA always tend to be very left-wing).
Maybe what I'm looking for could be described as a "counter-narrative" to South African history as we are being told today?
This is for an assignment, one of many subjects I need to study, and I am in no way an expert on this country. However, what I can tell from my lectures is that one side is constantly more "in the spotlight" than the other and it's always examined under the same lens of racism and "African march toward freedom".
Not a thread for political discussion, only recommendations, please.
