Book description
There are heroes and there are monsters. But most of us are ordinary
mortals caught up in events too turbulent for any of us. Perhaps when
the battle is over, all we will inherit are the ashes of a once
beautiful land. It is 1952. Guided by the ruthless hands of Shasa
Courtney and Centaine Malcomess, the Courtney family empire has come to
dominate the lives of white and black South African alike. But the winds
of change are fanning fires of revolution. In his deadly quest for
power, Shasa will be tested far beyond the battle of the boardroom,
forced to betray his ideals for a misguided dream of national unity.
Rage is Wilbur Smith's impassioned account of post-war South Africa. It
is also the work of a master storyteller at the zenith of his powers: an
unforgettable blend of passion, power, history and intrigue. 'The pace
would do credit to a Porsche, and the invention is as bright and
explosive as a firework display' Sunday Telegraph
