" (...) The tale of the Portuguese invasion has been told before, but never, so far as I know, in such a popular and accessible form as that here presented by Lady Claud Hamilton, who has the advantage of writing with a first- hand knowledge of, and lively interest in, the terrain. Readers already familiar with the main events may yet find incidents new to them- as, for instance, the tragic story of the wreck of the San Joao off the coast of Natal in 1554, and the adventures of her survivors; and the growing interest of East Africans of all races in their own history will no doubt be pricked and stimulated by tthis convenient summary of a bloody, violent and courageous story (...)
