The Fall of Apartheid : The Inside Story from Smuts to Mbeki

This volume tells the story of how apartheid came into being, secured its ascendancy over the richest and most developed society in sub-Saharan Africa, and then collapsed.

It reveals the story of the secret meetings between Africans and Afrikaners in Britain, in which South Africa's current president, Thabo Mbeki, had a direct line to President Botha.

Robert Harvey's narrative helps to illuminate not just the South African Problems but also more general issues of conflict and problem solving.
