Johannesburg: Perskor, 1978. 121 p. Paper covered boards, d.w. R 200 Dirks penned a series of "uile" books depicting the lives of a group of South African teenagers. Dirks was a teacher and thus had an insight into his subject. This book deals with the same group of characters, but they have moved to the army gymnasium for basic military training. During a time of compulsory National Service for all young white men, Dirks depicts this in a very positive light. The final chapter describes an impressive parade given for the Minister of Defence. 310 Orkin, Martin. SHAKESPEARE AGAINST APARTHEID. Johannesburg: Ad. Donker, 1987. 198 p. Paperback, faded on spine. Name on preliminary page. R 125 Orkin's argument is that the cultural background of the audience will determine the meaning and conclusions drawn from Shakespeare's plays. White South Africans read him from an Anglo-America perspective, and his works need to be read and appreciated as being of "the people". 311 Paton, Alan.

Johannesburg: The Society, 1946-1964. 18 vols. in 9 (various paginations): ill. Skivertex. R 1200 The Wildlife Protection Society was established in 1920. Whilst recognising the conflict that exists between nature and man's economic development, the Society hoped that the creation of strong public opinion would keep the damage inflicted on the environment to a minimum. The publication of the magazine was therefore to encourage the solving of problems in a Pan-African manner and to enlighten the public as to the damage being done by man to flora and fauna. The first magazine issued carried a list of the members, from Sir George Albu to Harry Wolhuter, and included Sir Ernest Oppenheimer. Under the patronage of King George VI, the president of the Society was J.H. Orpen and the vice-presidents included J.C. Smuts, Dr Austin Roberts and Lt-Col. Stevenson-Hamilton. Contributors include a who's who of South Africans involved in nature conservation. Recent publications relating to flora and fauna337 Cowling, Richard & Pierce, Shirley.

Cloth, browned on spine Some scarring. Neatly recased with new endpapers. R 750 Davitt (1846-1906) was born in County Mayo, Ireland. He started work in a factory at nine and his right arm was amputated at eleven after an industrial accident. Unable to work, he attended school and became interested in Irish history. He smuggled arms to Ireland and became active in politics. He was imprisoned and whilst there was elected an MP. His parliamentary career was turbulent and he resigned his membership of the British House of Commons in October 1899, as a protest against the war he considered to be "the greatest infamy of the nineteenth century" (Preface). He then proceeded to the Transvaal, where, during a stay of several months, he gathered facts and information at first hand through contact with the leaders and burghers of both Republics and this book describes those experiences. His role in Irish politics declined in his later years and he was deliberately sidelined by later, more radical, nationalists. Nevertheless his private funeral was attended by over 20 000 of his countrymen. See Mendelssohn vol. 1, p. 422. 342 Hall, Darrell. HALT! ACTION FRONT!: with Colonel Long at Colenso.

See also Mendelssohn, vol. 1, p. 722. 345 MACLEAR: [map]; compiled and lithographed by Mapping Section F.I.D. under the superintendence of Capt. P.H. du P.

SLEGTKAMP VAN SPIOENKOP: oorlogsherinneringe van Kapt. Slegtkamp; saamgestel uit sy dagboek deur Dirk Mostert. Cape Town: Nasionale Pers, 1935. 312 p.: ports. Pict. cloth. R 500 Slegtkamp (1873-1951) served as an ordinary soldier in Middleburg Kommando and saw much action on the Natal front. He played a crucial role in the battle of Spioenkop, where he, Hindon and De Roos defied Buller's force. He then became a member of Danie Theron's Verkennerskorp and after Theron's death and Hindon's surrender, became the ultimate Bittereinder, dodging patrols right until the end (the book is dedicated the the Bittereinders- men, women and children). He later became a staunch member of the Ossewa-Brandwag in Middleburg, where he died. 348 Swinton, E.D. THE DEFENCE OF DUFFER'S DRIFT: a few experiences in the field defence for detached posts which may prove useful in our next war. [New ed.]. London: Leo Cooper, 1990. 74 p.: maps. Paper covered boards, d.w. Name stamp blacked out on front free endpaper. Originally published in 1905. R 300 Swinton (1868-1951) received a D.S.O. in the South African War and is credited with the invention of the tank. He was colonel commandant of the Royal Tank Corps and professor of military history at Oxford University from 1925-1939. Both thought provoking and entertaining, DUFFER'S DRIFT is Swinton's vehicle to set out six "dreams" in which he tries to defend "Duffer's Drift" from the Boers. In each case, he shows poor planning, misplaced trust put in locals, and the need to plan for all eventualities. In the first five "dreams" he wakes up defeated by the Boers. Only in "dream" six, where absolutely every eventuality is covered, is the task put before the officer achieved. 349 Terblanche, Annette. EMILY HOBHOUSE.
