Interesting history and man, albeit somewhat sad

Fairly interesting, if sometimes rather starry-eyed, survey of a fascinating figure in South African history.

Excellent read showing how two former 'enemies' came together in times of crises to become firm friends who had complete trust in each other and shaped the history of two countries.

Interesting snippets of the relationship between Smuts and Churchill intersperse a fascinating account of world affairs affected and effected by these two.
