Rhodesia

Although the idea of a continuous British dominion from the Cape colony to Cairo in Egypt was first formulated by William Gladstone and Sir Rutherford Alcock and summed up by Sir Edwin Arnold in the phrase "From Cape to Cairo" it was Cecil Rhodes who finally embraced this dream as a viable project. This book outlines how close the dream came to reality as far as Central Africa was concerned and why in the end it was the "Impossible Dream".
