This is a moving and graphic biography of the great Moshesh, founder and potentate of the Basotho nation of South Africa. His life forms a striking contrast to the subjects of Dr Beckers’ earlier biographies. For while they–Shaka Zulu,Dingane,Mzilikazi and others–were autocrats who invariably ru;led by fear, Moshesh was wise and kindly, a leader whose exploits were renowned not only throughout Southern Africa, but in countries beyond the seas.
