A great read,
By
This review is from: How Can Man Die Better....: Sobukwe and Apartheid (Hardcover)
Although I knew a bit about the struggle against Apartheid, this book really brought it to life. It's also an inspirational read about Sobukwe, who espoused very Ghandian principles such as non violence and non racialism (despite a philosophical contradiction where he initially wouldn't allow whites into his PAC organisation -- this is more a point about "non-collaboration" which is explained in the book). Many white South Africans whom I have spoken to about the book do not know much about Sobukwe, which isn't surprising given the strict top down approach to education under Apartheid. Pogrund's writing is accessible, as well, which makes it a great read.

How can man die better,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: How Can Man Die Better?: The Life of Robert Sobukwe (Paperback)
I read this book whilst in South Africa and like the other person that has reviewed it I was suprised how little the South Africans know about this man.
This book gives you another understanding of what went on in the apartheid years and Robert Subukwe was the first prisoner on Robben Island his story made me cry and laugh it is a book of courage and strength in the face of adversity and discrimination. I also found this book to be very inspirational it is so well written. If you like books about these great people another inmate that was on Robben Island is Ahmed Katharda "Memoirs" it also gives you another view another story of how proud these men are of the people of South Africa and South Africa itself. Brilliant emotional rollercoaster of books.First class reads once you pick up you do not want to put down.
