Excellent story of the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa.
8 April 2011
Format:Paperback
This book is not only about Alan Paton, it is about the history of apartheid in South Africa. In between the tales of the awards won by Mr Paton (and there were many), he tells the story of the cruelty of the Afrikaaner Nationalists and the sometimes reckless bravery of those who opposed them. He does not condone the use of violence and relates the story of the bomb that went off in the Johannesburg station with great sadness. Alan Paton died just before Nelson Mandela was released and so he never lived to see the free South Africa that his Liberal Party had worked to achieve by constitutional means. When it was forced to disband the struggle passed to the African National Congress and the children of the black townships. It is a gripping story, especially for anyone who ever lived in the old South Africa where so much was hidden by censorship of the media.
