From Enemies to Lifelong Friends

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

This dual biography explores the relationship between the aristocrat Winston Churchill and the ascetic South African farm boy Jan Smuts. It tells how the two men, antagonists during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902, became friends after Smuts risked unpopularity at home by supporting Britain in the First World War, and assesses their role during the establishment of apartheid.
