About this product

Product Information

General Jan Christian Smuts (1870-1950) was an heroic icon for many.But over the decades, he was regarded in another light. For Afrikanersof a previous generation, he was seen as a traitor, but in the modern age,he seems to have become "far-sighted". This book by Stephen Goodsonreveals a consistency in his actions and thinking which shows whatpurpose this far-sightedness served.Since the time when he studied at Cambridge University, he adopteda philosophy known as "Holism", and a stance grounded oninternationalism which served the interests of the international bankers(and in SA, the 'Randlords'), as opposed to a national outlook, serving thepeople. He involved South Africa in three unnecessary wars. He introduceda central bank in SA (permitting privately owned banks to create the nation'smoney supply as an interest bearing debt). A "New World Order" undera world government was seen as a logical outcome of his Holistic view.He was infatuated with Zionism. He is credited with doing much ofWinston Churchill's thinking for him.Born in the British Cape Colony, he studied law in Britain. The bookcovers his early years and indoctrination, his involvement with Paul Krügerand the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 and his relationship with peoplelike Strakosch, who paid Winston Churchill's gambling debts, and wholeft Smuts a bequest in his 1943 Will. Also discussed are his friendshipwith US President Woodrow Wilson; his presence at Versailles; his partin the League of Nations; and the 1914 Rebellion in SA. He also playeda part in Britain's Imperial War Cabinet in 1917, and helped fashionthe British Commonwealth. Some little known aspects of Versaillesand WWI and WW2, as well as the Ossewa-Brandwag, are revealed.Smuts's role in the Balfour Declaration and his close friendship with ChaimWeizmann resulted in a kibbutz and streets in Israel being named afterhim. He was Prime Minister of South Africa from 1939 to 1948, whenaccording to some analysts, the votes of the returning SA soldiers fromthe front had turned against him, resulting in his party's defeat,and the National Party (much to their surprise) became SA'snew government.
