Meticulously researched, ‘Throwing Down White Man’, Cape Rule and Misrule in Colonial Lesotho, 1871-1884 provides the best narrative yet regarding the ‘Moorosi Rebellion’ in the south of Lesotho and the Gun War, both of which were precipitated by the clash between chiefly author-ity in Lesotho and the Cape, whose persistent and sometimes unwise interference in Lesotho’s affairs finally led to open and widespread rebellion. Lesotho was then returned to Great Britain and a new course of action towards chiefly rule was adopted.
