Sent to kill

by Graham Fysh

Overview

Sent to kill is a classic case study in African colonialism. A true story written after seven years of intensive research, it depicts in shocking detail a war that history has tried to sweep under the carpet.

In South Africa in the late 1870s, the expanding British Cape Colony meets strong resistance when it attempts to take over territory ruled by King Moorosi, leader of the fiercely independent Baphuthi people who have lived for generations on the land in southeastern Basutoland (today's Lesotho).

Can the astute battle-hardened king survive the onslaught, which threatens his people's survival as a nation? Find the surprising answer as you experience the world of colonial Africa firsthand in this true story filled with fast-paced action, suspicion and intrigue.
