                                          High Noon in Southern Africa: Making Peace in a Rough Neighborhood


FIRST EDITION, published by W W Norton, 1992, hardcover, illustrated, index, 533 pages, some rippling to upper corner of pages in mid-section not affecting text block or illustrations, otherwise condition: very good. condition: very good.

During the 1980s, a wave of strife threatened to engulf the nations of Southern Africa. Chester Crocker embarked on an eight-year diplomatic marathon to bring peace to the truculent neighbours. Despite all the obstacles to resolving the complex conflict, the Crocker strategy worked. This narrative tells how peace (almost) came to Angola and why South Africa let Namibia have its independence. This book is aimed at professional diplomats and lay readers alike.


Chester Crocker is an American diplomat and scholar who served as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under the Ronald  Reagan presidency (1981-1989). Crocker, architect of the U.S. policy of "constructive engagement" towards Southern Africa including apartheid-era South Africa, is credited with setting the terms of Namibian independence.

Harry Schwarz  was a South African lawyer, statesman, and long-time political opposition leader against apartheid in South Africa who eventually served as the South African Ambassador to the United States during the country's transition to majority rule.  His appointment as South African Ambassador to the United States, in 1990, was widely heralded as symbolic of the government's commitment to ending apartheid, and played a significant role in renewing the nation's image as the new democratic South Africa.
