Legacy by Philip Ziegler
Over 7,000 individuals have received the world's prestigious scholarship in the century since Cecil John Rhodes, the British-born founder of the De Beers diamond company, established through his will the Rhodes Trust and Rhodes scholarships. This history traces the evolution of the Trust and its scholarship programme.
"Ziegler has honed the art of navigating quite thorny territory with delicate footwork, gently exposing the vainglorious and disappointing, the mean-spirited and short-sighted, alongside the expected Rhodes scholar success stories"—Alice Garner, H-Net Education -- Alice Garner * H-Net Education *
Philip Ziegler, the renowned British biographer and historian, has written some two dozen books, including The Black Death; London at War, 1939–1945; and the official biographies of Mountbatten and Edward VIII. He lives in London.
