South Africa's yesterdays.

Plot

You are invited to take a trip back in time ... take a ride in South Africa's first motor car, watch the growth of the gold and diamond mines, experience the tragedy of war and the joy of peace. See what made father and grandfather laugh and marvel at mother's outlandish clothes. South Africa's Yesterdays tells the story of our recent past in 344 fascinating pages and over 1000 illustrations, many in full colour. Complied by a skilled team of Reader's Digest writers and researchers, this unique volume provides a vivid and intimate account of what it was really like to live in the South Africa of yesteryear. This book captures all the courage, humour, pathos and inspiration in the lives of the men and women who brought this country from reluctant colonialism to proud nationhood.
