DESCRIPTION:Martin Meredith, journalist, biographer, and historian\n\nIn his new book, 
 Diamonds, Gold, and War, Martin Meredith recounts the turbulent years 
 leading up to the founding of the modern state of South Africa in 1910. 
 Southern Africa was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies 
 and Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little 
 interest to the outside world. With discovery of the world’s richest 
 deposits of diamonds and gold, what followed was a\ncostly war between the 
 British and the Boers for control of the land and its natural resources. 
 Meredith will discuss the history of this war and its consequences, for 
 the\nnative peoples of the region, for the rise of Afrikaner nationalism, 
 and its effects for much of the 20th century in South Africa.\n\nCheck-in:
