About This Item
(Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball, 2003) 1868421503. 229 x 153 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xiv + 370, incl. index; map; plates. Earlier owner's name signed inside upper cover; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president of South Africa was a defining moment of the twentieth century. This book, by one of South Africa's most distinguished journalists and commentators, analyses brilliantly what has happened to South Africa since it underwent one of the world's few relatively bloodless revolutions almost a decade ago. It is the dramatic story of how a handful of rookie politicians came 'out of the bush' - to use Mandela's own phrase - to take over the running of a complex and deeply troubled country that they thought was richly endowed but in fact was almost bankrupt; of how they struggled to come to terms with an often hostile bureaucracy; and how above all they found themselves struggling not only with the complexities of their own society but also with the bewildering and often destabilising forces of the new globalised economy." .
