Summary: A Landmark - the Drakensberg is not the same without it
Comment: I searched bookshops in South Africa for two months to find a copy - after having found and read it, I would have continued searching for much longer! Barrier of Spears is without a doubt the definitive work on the history of the Drakensberg, its personalities and natural wonder. Everyone who loves this beautiful mountain in South Africa should (and probably already) have one. I fell in love with the Drakensberg all over again and could not stop reading. Although not describing any of the numerous routes of the 'Berg in particular, it gave me a deep understanding and knowledge of the different peaks, passes and areas that would not otherwise be possible. Knowing the story behind the name of a peak, the triumphs and tragedies that took place on it gave my outings to the Drakensberg a whole new dimension. Pearse have a wonderful way with words and I keep referring to many of the thought provoking passages such as the end of the chapter on George Thomson. It may be difficult to find, but it is certainly worth it.
