“Survival in our own land is not a history in the conventional or chronological sense. It contains facts and it also contains feelings – facts and feeling of the past which have shaped the present and which will inform the future…[it] presents a picture full of dark shadows, stained with blood, sparked with anger, relieved sometimes by tolerance, strong in dignity and endurance, highlighted with courage, rich in wisdom, occasionally redeemed by a measure of compassion, glinting with wry humour.” (from preface).
