JACANA MEDIASivumäärä: 288 sivuaAsu: Pehmeäkantinen kirjaPainos: 2nd Revised editionJulkaisuvuosi: 2011, 01.07.2011 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti A meticulously written and moving report of the groundbreaking events that dramatically accelerated the downfall of the apartheid movement, this new edition focuses on a particularly violent period in South Africa's tumultuous history. Clearly and without bias, this book discusses the Sharpeville Six Trial, the Delmas Treason Trial, the 1984 uprising that led to international sanctions against South Africa, the first-ever army invasions of the Vaal townships, and the still controversial Boipatong massacre. With firsthand accounts-including those from formerly despised councillors-this record clarifies many misconceptions regarding the important events that were instrumental in bringing down the apartheid regime.
