More than a century after their discovery, diamonds mind at the coast are still a mainstay of the Namibian economy and sand-filled buildings and rusted equipment in the desert are silent witnesses of the times that were.

On reading the documentary evidence on August Stauch, the author came to the conclusion that if this were set against the local and global events of the time and told by the main role player in an autobiographical way, a more clear, animated, interesting picture of the and person and the people who populated his world would emerge. This book is trying to achieve just that.

Broadly based on published accounts, this rendition seeks to present the momentous events and involved role players as August Stauch himself may have remembered them. The persons, names and settings should therefore be understood to be party factual and partly fictious.
