What I notice in Haggard's writing , which I never did before, is that he denigrated Boers at every opportunity. For instance the way he writes about Paul Kruger who really WAS a Great Man is totally disgusting. He writes exactly as a snob and from a superior height. He writes about South Africa but sounds as if "England Uber Alles" is his mental condition. His total experience of Sth Africa was exactly 6 years. Hardly qualifying him as an expert that he can denigrate so heavily that hardy independent people who carved out their own way..Write Review:
