Triangle of One Hundred Years Wars
The book “Triangle of One Hundred Years Wars” provides an incredibly gripping and riveting South African historiography, chronologically articulated through an endogenous lens by a native South African. It chronicles a record reflective of the fundamental historical events within the southern part of Africa. The narrative delineates the adroitness of the visionary leadership of amaXhosa given the successes and failures on the protracted wars etched in the Eastern Cape region.
Dr Jongi Joseph Klaas has a Bachelor of Pedagogics from the University of Fort Hare, South Africa; a Masters Degree from the from the University of Oklahoma in the United States of America and Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology from

“When I wrote House of Phalo, more than 40 years ago, I could never have expected that we would have to wait so long for an African perspective.” Professor Jeff Peires
“The book itself is a victory, it is a reward to those heroes who fought wars of resistance.”
Ms Vathiswa Nhanha, Librarian at Cory Library, Rhodes University.
“Jongi Klaas redefines the telling of history, his stories have a soul, they live in you.”
