Review title: Should come with warning label
Product review: Anyone who is thinking about reading this book shouldknow that VDP was a major BS artist. Very good at it too,was a friend of royalty and also Jung. If you can find it,read J.D.F. Jones "Storyteller: The Lives of Laurens VanDer Post". VDP was constantly reinventing himself. Manyof his stories about everything from his war record tohis Bushman connections were exaggerated or just plaininvented. People loved to hear this stuff about the greatwhite hunter, the ancient heart of Africa, blah blah blah.To his credit, he did oppose apartheid.If you want an readable book on the Bushmen, try ElizabethMarshall Thomas' "The Harmless People". At least she actuallyknew them!BTW The film is called "The Lost World of the Kalahari",BBC 1958. Don't know if you can get it on video. A better betwould be "Kalahari Desert People", by John Marshall.
