Bøker i The Kirkwood Trilogy-serien

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.

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.
