Here is what people are saying about the A History of South Africa, Third Edition
5 Star Rating  "Fairly Portrayed"2009-06-18
- Reviewed By User: A11104YP2Y0PDW
This book was a joy to read since it was written almost like a novel. I agree with other reviews about the last chapter. I think the author should have spent a bit more time on it.
 
4 Star Rating  "It gets the job done, but it could be done better"2008-08-14
- Reviewed By newbsk8tr
Before giving my actual review, I want to give you some context from which this review came. I read this book while studying in South Africa and taking South African History. I'm an undergraduate student and I'm not getting a degree in History. I would say I'm what the author would look at as a basic twenty-something reader.

With that said, onto my review:

This is 3 1/2 stars. The book was overflowing with facts and all the key events that lead up to South Africa as it is today. Spanning from the earliest inhabitants, to the presidential term of Thabo Mbeki. The reason I didn't give this book four stars is not the information per se, but more so the way the information was presented. In short, good content, poor execution. Although the book is set up in a generally chronological order, the author constantly jumps around when discussing specific dates. The sheer amount of information that you are taking in makes it very difficult to keep track of all of the dates and span them out in a timeline in your head (at least it was for me). This structure proves to be confusing and makes recollecting certain events, groups, or short periods of history, very difficult.
 
3 Star Rating  "Meh"2008-07-30

The very epitomy of a 2 1/2 star, mediocre book.

I was neither impressed nor appalled. It reviews South Africa from prehistoric times until after Aparthied. If you want to know some basics about South Africa, I'd read it. If you are looking for real in depth analysis, find something else. I would neither suggest nor disuade readers.

 
5 Star Rating  "Two thumbs up!"2007-12-05
- Reviewed By kurtajohnson
In this excellent history of South Africa, Professor Leonard Thompson of Yale University, gives the reader a truly holistic history of South Africa. Instead of beginning the history of South Africa with the arrival of the European explorers, he begins with the information that archaeologist have gained on the earliest humans in the area. Then, he follows the evolution of the area, showing how history unfolded for all of its people, especially the black South Africans who always did make up a majority of the inhabitants of the region.

Overall, I found this to be a fascinating, and highly informative book. So many of the older books focus exclusively on the white South Africans, bringing in the rest only when they become "important" to the story of the whites. And, so many more recent publications present recent South African history in a triumphalist manner, as if utopia has finally been achieved.

Instead, this book eschews both of those fallacies, and looks at South African history with a clear-eyed and open-minded fashion, giving the reader a good idea of what has really happened. I must say that I think that this is the best South African history that I have read so far. So, if you want to really know about South Africa, I would recommend that you get this great book. I give it two thumbs up!

I wrote to seller to ask when book might be arriving as a time deadline was approaching for us--I never got a response. I do believe that the book arrived in the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE ALLOTTED TIME however.

I thought it almost a must read for South Africans who were subjected to the Apartheid era history at school. I say that as a born and bred South Africa.
