Gold! Gold! Gold!: The Johannesburg gold rush by Eric Rosenthal is an account of the South African gold rush in the Rand, and how it changed the world's economy. A small strip of veldt in southern Africa has produced more than half the world's gold reserve. It is known as the Rand, and around it has grown the great modern city of Johannesburg. Here, in a totally compelling narrative, is the full story of that gold-fabled land that has decided the fate of monarchs and presidents and dictated the monetary structure of the twentieth century.
