Peter Hain has lived an extraordinary life. Formerly an 'outsider'
he became an 'insider', one of the last Labour government's most
effective ministers. He held an array of glittering posts in the
British political establishment, from key roles in the Foreign
Office and the Department of Trade and Industry, to the leadership
of the Commons and the brokering of the 2007 devolution settlement
in Northern Ireland. But his journey to become a British Cabinet
Minister started on a different continent. Growing up in Pretoria,
South Africa, life changed irrevocably when a close family friend
was hanged by the apartheid government. Before that, the security
police had taken his activist parents away in the middle of the
night. The political values he holds today spring from the
injustices he witnessed growing up and which drew him into politics
in the first place. As the eldest child, Hain was left to look
after his younger brother and two small sisters. Thus began his
career as a militant antiapartheid protester. Far from the bloated
memoirs of a former government insider, this is the story of a
courageous, campaigning life that is intrinsically bound up with
the destiny of South Africa.
