London: Cassell & Company Ltd., 1952. First U.K. Edition. Hardcover. xvi, 568 pages. Illustrations (with 23 pages of halftone illustrations and 5 maps). Appendix. Bibliography Index. Small tears to DJ and small pieces missing Discoloration inside boards and on some pages. This biography is by the subject's son. This biography of one of the greatest and most respected men of our time has a very special intimacy and authenticity. No other man could have brought to it such a full knowledge and understanding, for this is a record of Smuts 's life by his own son. The official biography, freely documented and substantiated in the smallest detail, is in course of preparation by a group of scholars accredited by Smuts's own family and the South African Government, but that work cannot be ready for some years. Meanwhile, this life of the greatest man South Africa has produced is of special interest, both for the portrait it paints and for the inside history of South Africa which it relates. For the story of Smuts is the story of South Africa and his whole fife was spent in a constant struggle against the political creed which is the root cause of the troubles in the Union today. His friendship with President Kruger led him into politics, and a passionate love of his own country into the Boer War. His training in England, however, and his understanding of the British point of view gave him his great opportunity for statesmanship when he and his great friend Botha together brought their country back into prosperity by way of Union at home and peace and friendship with Britain. With the death of Botha the leadership of South Africa fell wholly on the shoulders of Smuts. More

Cyrus Leo Sulzberger II (October 27, 1912 – September 20, 1993) was an American journalist, and non-fiction writer. He was The New York Times lead foreign correspondent during the 1940s and 1950s. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1934. Cy joined the family paper in 1939 and was soon covering stories oversea as Europe edged toward World War II. Among the reporters who worked for him during the war were Drew Middleton and James Reston. He served as a foreign affairs correspondent for 40 years and wrote two dozen books in his lifetime. Because of the circles he traveled in, he sometimes carried messages from one foreign leader to another; for U.S. President John F. Kennedy he conveyed a note to Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. Of all the leaders he befriended, it is said that he was closest to President Charles de Gaulle of France. Sulzberger received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 1951 for his "exclusive interview" with imprisoned Archbishop of Zagreb Aloysius Stepinac. This is a dual biography of Charles De Gaulle and Winston Churchill. More
