Summary
Following on from the events begun in A Falcon Flies, Men of Men continues Wilbur Smith's epic story of the Ballantynes.
It is the age of empire, of blood and conquest, of boundless excitement and possibility. Striding in the footsteps of the pioneers is Zouga Ballantyne. His dream begins in the danger and drudgery of the diamond pits and ends up on the rich grasslands of Matabeleland - but not before a king and a proud warrior nation have paid the price of history....
Men of Men is followed by The Angels Weep and The Leopard Hunts in the Darkness.

Got a little lost
Although I have listened to many of WS books, I found this one a little hard to follow in places. Disappointing.

A Super Historical Book
Yet another a great historical story based around Cecil John Rhodes's ambitious plan to conquer, take over and prosper from the Matabele Tribe in what is now Zimbabwe following his take over of the Diamond mine in Kimberley Southern Africa and establish the British South Africa Company.
Well narrated, reserched thoroughly and based on Historical facts this is a great read, although some might find ut too long. As an ex Rhodesian who lived there for 26 yrs loved it as it as it reminded me of the fascinating History of my country. I hope I find the follow up.

Damn good listen
Carries the Ballantyne story well, although in places tends towards the top shelf!
War and adventure still win out interwoven with good history and research.
MSJ is too strong for comfort.

The birth of Rhodesia
The story set against a tapestry of fact and fiction is spellbinding. Excellent narration even if the pronunciation of names, Afrikaans and Matabele is irritating.

Is there a better ‘boys’ own’ story teller?
Working my whilst back through the Ballantyne series, after first reading whilst in Africa over 30 years ago. Think I am enjoying them even more. I can now appreciate the craft as well as the content. Great listen. But please put chapters/stops in the audio nightmare when you listen at bed time drift off to sleep.

Pure Wilbur
Another cracker from the master. You can feel the heat of Africa and find yourself recalling the unusual names and the struggles of a nation and king under threat. Loved it!
