Dense Details

Dear Reader,This book is very useful. It can't be read in one sitting since it is quite dense, but it provides a marvelous level of detail aobut South Africa. Great as a reference book and, although it must be read over a long period of time, it also has an engaging narrative. It has excellent newspaper political cartoons that give a sense of the political commentary of the day. EAC
