The Struggle Against Apartheid's Dirty Little Secrets
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book illuminates the dark secrets that the ANC preferred not to make public.The facts as described in this important book clarify the extent that the ANC was dominated by the ideologically doctrinaire Communist Party, how divisive internally the ANC became in the wake of skillful South African government countermeasures, and just how far from victory the black movement for freedom was when DeKlerk, a man who has not received his due from history, decided to "un-ban" both the ANC and SACP. I would like to have seen more about the linkage between the collapse of Communism worldwide and the pressures on the South African government, but the focus of this fine book was on the ANC/SACP relationship. And that is not altogether a pleasant story, but it does help to explain why South Africa continues to suffer from internal turmoil now that the apartheid dragon has been slain.
