Recenzii

'This work is a remarkable tour de force; to have managed to deal so brilliantly within the compass of a few hundred pages with the fascinating history of South Africa from prehistoric times right up to the second democratic elections of that beloved country'. - the Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, Emeritus Archbishop of Cape Town
'Probably the best one-volume work on the subject yet published.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times Educational Supplement
