Empire, War & Cricket

Shortlisted for the Non-Fiction Book of the Year Award and now a best-seller in South Africa, Empire, War & Cricket in South Africa, is a historical account of the significance of Matjiesfontein and its founder, the colourful James Douglas Logan.

Focusing on cricket, politics and commerce during the years 1888 – 1910, this entertaining and at times remarkable true story also details the involvement of Logan and Matjiesfontein during the Anglo-Boer War. Unique photographs and documents from the Logan family archives, many of which have never been published before, form an integral part of the book.
