Editorial Reviews

Review

What does a political movement inherit from the past, and what does it leave to the future? That is the fascinating question that lies at the heart of this detailed analysis of the most influential organization to come out of South Africa in the 1980s. - Martin Plaut in INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ... this book is necessary reading for anyone concerned with South African politics in the 1980s. - Allison Drew in JOURNAL OF AFRICAN HISTORY ... is a masterful compilation of information based on scores of interviews. ...The special value of this book for researchers is as a record of political activists who have since taken positions within the ANC.
