摘要：This is an impressive book that tells the stories of the legal figures involved in the events surrounding the 1895 Jameson Raid in the South African Republic (ZAR). It therefore deals with a well-known subject but from a new departure point, namely from character sketches of the lawyers involved. Some of these are already familiar to the South African legal profession, but Rogers crucially also includes a number of lesser-known figures. Divided into four parts, with the Raid occupying the central position, Rogers adopts a biographical approach to detail the legal-political dynamics of a marked moment in South Africa’s long history of race politics.
