Presented as "a factual and objective introduction", this document was published in the US in propagandist support of the South African government's diplomatic offensive to hustle the newly created UN to allow it to incorporate Namibia formally into its own territory. Lavishly illustrated and with a substantial text, which draws heavily on the works of Vedder (see no. 157), its principal themes - endemic tribal warfare in pre-colonial Namibia, German brutality, South African economic benevolence and political liberality, and support from tribal leaders - set the pattern for a series of similar publications in later years. It includes the official account, with selected statements by tribal officials on the South African payroll, of the notorious referendum" in 1946 which inspired Rev. Michael Scott's devastating exposure of South African oppression and deception. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
