Although British-born, John Allen lived in South Africa from 1954
to 1990, a 36-year period during which the country experienced its
most climactic--and sometimes terrible--events.
Speaking from firsthand knowledge and with an intimate
understanding of the situation, the author takes us beyond the
media hype that so dominated Western television screens to answer
some of the most vital questions concerning the apartheid era: Who
originated the system of government the world grew to hate so
much?Was South Africa the only 'apartheid' nation?Did economic
sanctions have the desired effect?How did Washington's domestic
agenda affect US foreign policy?What was the West's real motive in
forcing the country to its knees?Why did Nelson Mandela's release
from prison exacerbate rather than diminish violence?
"Apartheid South Africa" addresses these and a host of other
issues, bringing to light little-known facts concerning historical
detail and providing the reader with eyewitness accounts of
day-to-day life in one of the most dangerous countries in the
world.
