Rhodes and Empire Dreams Shape a Powerful Life

Cecil Rhodes rose from Kimberley to lead in empire building and wealth far beyond his time. He forged a vast diamond empire to fund his aims, rode Table Mountain to think, and rested in Matoppo Hills, where his grave bears the simple inscription of his name. He pursued books with passion yet never married, and his legacy includes the world’s largest diamond claims and a push to extend British influence in Africa.
