Bøger i The Kirkwood Trilogy serien

WWI is over, and parts of Natal are thrown open to white settlers for development; Donald Kirkwood acquires 1500 acres of raw veld to develop a cotton farm. While camping there with little more than a tent and a post box made from a biscuit tin, he builds a house and prepares the land.

Afrikaner right-wingers plot pro-Nazi support as Hitler continues his rise to power during the 1930s. When war breaks out in Europe and north-east Africa, Donald Kirkwood's son Ewan enlists and is exposed to the full horrors of war.
