A Handful of Heroes, Rorke's Drift: Facts, Myths and Legends
by Stossel, Katie       
(Paperback - English - 9781399014892)
Thanks to newly discovered letters and documents, A Handful of Heroes updates the history of the defense of Rorkes Drift, which will forever be one of the most celebrated British feats of arms. br br Remarkably after such prolonged historical scrutiny, the authors research proves that there is yet more to discover about this famous incident of the Zulu War 1879 and her superbly researched book reveals a number of myths that have distorted what happened during the gallant defense of the small Mission Station. For example, it transpires that the isolated outpost was already well prepared for an attack by experts in field defense. While this in no way denigrate ..

Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill
by Millard, Candice       
(Paperback - English - 9780307948786)
From the bestselling author of Destiny of the Republic , this thrilling biographical account of the life and legacy of Wintson Churchill is a nail-biter and top-notch character study rolled into one (The New York Times ). At the age of twenty-four, Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England. He arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels and jumpstart his political career.

The Black and White Rainbow: Reconciliation, Opposition, and Nation-Building in Democratic South Africa
by Holmes, Carolyn       
(Paperback - English - 9780472054633)
Nation-building imperatives compel citizens to focus on what makes them similar and what binds them together, forgetting what makes them different. Democratic institution building, on the other hand, requires fostering opposition through conducting multiparty elections and encouraging debate. Leaders of democratic factions, like parties or interest groups, can consolidate their power by emphasizing difference. But when held in tension, these two impulses--toward remembering difference and forgetting it, between focusing on unity and encouraging division--are mutually constitutive of sustainable democracy. ​Based on ethnographic and interview-based fieldw ..

I Write What I Like: Selected Writings
by Biko, Steve    Stubbs C. R., Aelred   
(Paperback - English - 9780226048970)
The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Like all of Steve Biko's writings, those words testify to the passion, courage, and keen insight that made him one of the most powerful figures in South Africa's struggle against apartheid. They also reflect his conviction that black people in South Africa could not be liberated until they united to break their chains of servitude, a key tenet of the Black Consciousness movement that he helped found. I Write WhatLike contains a selection of Biko's writings from 1969, when he became the president of the South African Students' Organization, to 1972, when he was prohibited from pu ..

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation
by Carlin, John       
(Paperback - English - 9780143115724)
Read the book that inspired the Academy Award and Golden Globe winning 2009 film INVICTUS featuring Morgan Freeman and Matt Daymon, directed by Clint Eastwood. Beginning in a jail cell and ending in a rugby tournament- the true story of how the most inspiring charm offensive in history brought South Africa together. After being released from prison and winning South Africa's first free election, Nelson Mandela presided over a country still deeply divided by fifty years of apartheid. His plan was ambitious if not far-fetched: use the national rugby team, the Springboks-long an embodiment of white-supremacist rule-to embody and engage a new South Africa as they ..

Breakthrough: The Struggles and Secret Talks That Brought Apartheid South Africa to the Negotiating Table
by Maharaj, Mac    Jordan, Z. Pallo   
(Paperback - English - 9781776096473)
When President F.W. de Klerk announced the unbanning of the liberation movements on 2 February 1990, he opened the door to negotiations that would end apartheid and pave the way to democracy. But how did this moment come about? What power struggles and secret talks had brought the country to this point? br br Written by two ANC veterans who were close to these events, Breakthrough sheds new light on the process that led to the formal negotiations. Focusing on the years before 1990, the book reveals the skirmishes that took place away from the public glare, as the principal adversaries engaged in a battle of positions that carved a pathway to the negotiating ..

Treading a Delicate Tightrope: A principal balancing between education and political change during turbulent
by Burton, Mike       
(Paperback - English - 9781920033835)
When Mike Burton became the principal of All Saints College in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, little did he know about the journey on which he was embarking. Very soon after taking up the position, Mike realised that the vision of the founding organisation was becoming irrelevant as education and politics converged, reaching a crisis point in the second half of the 1980s. Mike found himself walking the tightrope between the expectations of the funders on the one hand and those of the students and community on the other. Matters reached a tipping point and Mike had to make a decision. As 'Comrade Mike' he elected that the interests of the students and ..

The Sadf and Cuito Cuanavale: A tactical and strategic analysis
by Scholtz, Leopold       
(Paperback - English - 9781928248033)
'A shooting war is often followed by a second war. This war is not fought with bullets or artillery shells, not with tanks or bombers, but rather with words.' In 1987-1988 the dusty Angolan town of Cuito Cuanavale was the backdrop for the final battles of the Border War. Ever since the war ended, the fighting around Cuito has been the subject of a fierce public debate over who actually won the war. While the leadership of the former South African Defence Force (SADF) claims it was never defeated, the supporters of the Angolan MPLA government, Cuba and SWAPO insist that the SADF was vanquished on the battlefield. They contend that the SADF wanted to overrun Cuit ..

A History of South Africa
by Thompson, Leonard    Berat, Lynn   
(Paperback - English - 9780300189353)
A fresh and penetrating exploration of South Africa's history, from the earliest known human inhabitation of the region to the present "I did not think it was possible for a white person to write a history of South Africa which a black South African would find to be a fair and accurate account of a beautiful land and its people. Leonard Thompson has disabused me of that notion. His is a history that is both accurate and authentic, written in a delightful literary style."--Archbishop Desmond Tutu The Fourth Edition of this classic text brings South Africa's history up to date with a new chapter chronicling the first presidential term of Mbeki and ending with ..

Country of My Skull: Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa
by Krog, Antjie       
(Paperback - English - 9780812931297)
Ever since Nelson Mandela dramatically walked out of prison in 1990 after twenty-seven years behind bars, South Africa has been undergoing a radical transformation. In one of the most miraculous events of the century, the oppressive system of apartheid was dismantled. Repressive laws mandating separation of the races were thrown out. The country, which had been carved into a crazy quilt that reserved the most prosperous areas for whites and the most desolate and backward for blacks, was reunited. The dreaded and dangerous security force, which for years had systematically tortured, spied upon, and harassed people of color and their white supporters, was dismantl ..

There Was This Goat: Investigating the Truth Commission Testimony of Notrose Nobomvu Konile
by Krog, Antjie    Mpolweni, Nosisi    Ratele, Kopano
(Paperback - English - 9781869141660)
On April 23, 1996, Notrose Nobomvu Konile lifted her hand and swore to tell the truth to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. She was the mother of Zabonke Konile, a young man killed in what has become known as the Gugulethu Seven incident. Antjie Krog, reporting as a journalist at the time, was struck by the seeming incoherence of the testimony. In 2004, colleagues Nosisi Mpolweni and Kopano Ratele joined Krog in a closer investigation of Mrs. Konile's words. The resulting three-year collaboration, drawing on different disciplinary and social backgrounds, has produced a fascinating account that leaves no detail of Mrs. Konile's narrative unexp ..

Hitler's South African Spies: Secret Agents and the Intelligence War in South Africa
by Kleynhans, Evert       
(Paperback - English - 9781776191161)
The story of the intelligence war in South Africa during the Second World War is one of suspense, drama and dogged persistence. In 1939, when the Union of South Africa entered the war on Britain's side, the German government secretly reached out to the anti-war political opposition, and to the leadership of the pro-fascist Ossewabrandwag. The Nazis' aim was to spread sedition in South Africa and to undermine the Allied war effort. To this end, they even offered to supply weapons to the Ossewabrandwag. But the critical strategic importance of the sea route round the Cape of Good Hope meant that the Germans were also after naval intelligence. Soon U-boat packs ..

Commando: A Boer Journal of the Boer War
by Reitz, Deneys    Smuts, J. C.   
(Hardcover - English - 9781647645274)
One of the most famous first-hand accounts of the Second Boer war, written by a soldier who served on the Boer commandos from the very first to the very last day of that conflict. Reitz-who went on to have a distinguished career in the later Union of South Africa-starts out his book with a short description of his upbringing as the son of a President of the Boer republic of the Orange Free State. From there, the book quickly moves into his recruitment into the Boer forces at the age of 17-after personally receiving permission from Transvaal President Paul Kruger to enrol in the Pretoria Commando. Deployed to the Natal front, Reitz describes the early Boer victor ..
