Cecil Rhodes and the South Africa of his Vision
Willis G. Robin argues that Cecil Rhodes forged a vast imperial framework in southern Africa through De Beers and Gold Fields, a railway and telegraph network, and political moves. He asserts Rhodes aimed to unite British territories north to Tanganyika under a greater British empire, shaping Rhodesia, Bechuanaland, and the Cape era.
