"Cecil Rhodes (1853 - 1902) was an English mining magnate and politician in southern Africa who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896. He and his British South Africa Company founded the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), which the company named after him in 1895. He also established the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate. He entered the diamond trade at Kimberley in 1871 and, with funding from Rothschild & Co, began to systematically buy out and consolidate diamond mines, eventually gaining a near-complete monopoly of the world diamond market. His diamond company De Beers, formed in 1888, retains its prominence into the 21st century." - Wikipedia. Latter day researchers highly value this work as they claim it contributed to WWI and that Rhodes, Stead and Lord Milner designed concentric rings of organizations intended to merge Britain with the U.S. to rule the world. x, 198 glossy pages. Index. Generously illustrated with black and white photos including tissue-protected black and white frontispiece portrait of Rhodes. Contents clean, bright, tight and unmarked. Moderate toning to endpapers. Average wear to original green cloth lettered and decorated in white upon front board and lettered in gilt upon backstrip. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A sound example.; 8vo.
