The companion to Allister Sparks's award-winning "The Mind of South
Africa", this book is an account of the negotiating process that
led to majority rule. It retells the story of the behind-the-scenes
collaborations that started with a meeting between Kobie Coetsee,
then Minister of Justice, and Nelson Mandela in 1985. By 1986,
negotiations involved senior government officials, intelligence
agents and the African National Congress. For the next four years,
they assembled in places such as a gamepark lodge, the Palace Hotel
in Lucerne, Switzerland, a fishing hideaway and even in a hospital
room. All the while, De Klerk's campaign assured white constituents
nothing would change. Sparks shows how the key players, who began
with little reason to trust one another, developed friendships
which would later play a crucial role in South Africa's struggle to
end apartheid. Allister Sparks's "The Mind of South Africa" won
South Africa's 1990 Sanlam Literary Award. Former correspondent for
"The Washington Post", "The Observer" and Holland's leading
newspaper, "NRC Handelsblad", Sparks was nominated for the Pulitzer
Prize in 1985.
