Ronald Hyam and Peter Henshaw. The Lion and the Springbok: Britain and South Africa since the Boer War. New York: Cambridge University Press. 2003. Pp. xv, 379. $60.00.
We are currently witnessing a striking resurgence of interest in several aspects of commonwealth-imperial history and the dynamics of Britain's relations with South Africa is one of these. New work on the concepts of gender, loyalism, and reconstruction may be conceived as part of a wider project to rethink the relationship between Britain and what was arguably its most complex and controversial dominion.Set against this wider historiographical framework, publication of this book could not be more timely.	1
Written by Ronald Hyam, who has made a major scholarly contribution to the field of British policy toward South Africa, and Peter Henshaw, who has published seminal essays on the external dimensions of southern African history, the study raises expectations that are not disappointed. Meticulously researched, beautifully written, and forcefully argued, it will rapidly establish itself as indispensable reading on the topic. Not only does it robustly restate many of the positions taken up by its authors in previous publications, it is a powerful work of synthesis that provides a running commentary on a burgeoning body of literature on Anglo-South African relations.	. . .
