“There was no definite decision on the length of the [hunger] strike – it was to go
on until their demands for release were met, or until collapse. They became slow
and flagging and they didn’t talk much.”
Previously banned and unavailable in South Africa, Helen Joseph writes a moving
personal account of enduring the Treason Trial - one of the longest and most
important trials in South African history. She shares stories of the Pony Post -the
trialists' own postal service and language, the treatment of prisoners, and the ‘real
heroes’ of the Trial: the wives of the accused. She writes honestly and details the
trialists' perseverance, struggles, compassion and commitment to fighting
oppression for all South Africans.
This edition is a vital addition to curating our South African history and to our
ever-growing Pocket Series.
