A revealing and highly entertaining autobiography of one of the key figures of South Africa's African National Congress. As an immigrant, a Jew, a communist, a guerrilla fighter and political strategist - and white - few public figures in South Africa were as demonized by the apartheid government as Joe Slovo. Slovo began his political life as a lawyer at the Johannesburg Bar where he was a colleague and close collaborator of Nelson Mandela in the 1950s, serving as his lawyer in that period. He was co-founder with Mandela of the ANC's guerrilla movement and became the first white person elected to the ANC leadership. He began writing this autobiography after the fatal bomb attack on his first wife, Ruth First, portrayed in the film 'A World Apart'.
1995. Hardcover with dustcover, 253 pages. Very good condition.
