Men of Men
Men of Men | Wilbur Smith
Men of Men by Wilbur Smith It was called The Devil's Own: a steep scar in the African earth, around which men toiled with picks, shovels, and dreams of the milky treasures that would become prized, polished diamonds. In this demonic race, native tribesmen became miners. Sometimes they became thieves. And then they became rebels. Zouga Ballantyne, an African-born Englishman, sees the Devil's Own mine as his ticket to the North: a realm of waterfalls and fertile plains, teeming wildlife, and seeded fields of gold. But what happens in the diamond mines of the fledgling Boer Free State sets the course for Ballantyne and a cast of comrades, enemies, and lovers--and for the continent itself. From the visions of imperialists to the fury between a father and a son, from the lengths a man will go for a woman and a woman for her convictions, a tragic clash of generations and civilizations was shaking 19th-century Africa, where some warriors fought for their gods--and others for the men who came before them...

I don't read romance novels. So romance has to show up in other types of books. Case in point: this book. I'm pretty sure this is from the 1970s. I do enjoy legacy Wilbur Smith, particularly A Time to Die. Wow, what a book. Haven't read this one yet. But I have a ton of his books in my personal library. #uglyromancecovers #booklove17
