Worth Reading

This is an amazing account of a man struggling against the chains of oppression and racism. A terrific book and must-read for all.

The other side of the apartheid struggle

The profoundly hard struggle of black South Africans against the oppresive apartheid regime is well documented as are the efforts of high profile white activists like Joe Slovo etc.I have never before though the read the account of an 'ordinary' white South African whos life was fundamentally turned upside down through his opposition to what was happening in his country.This is an amazing story. Well written and incredibly exciting, it gives a real insight into how many white South African's lives were affected by the struggle there.
