Springboks under Siege. An Illustrated record of Springbok Rugby in 1980 Foreword by Wynand Claassen

Hard Cover A4 size. In good condition. Binding and spine in good shape. No marks or inscriptions. Published 1981.

An illustrated history of the traumatic tour to New Zealand, the American sojourn and the ill-fated British Lions tour to South Africa (1980 & 1981). The "flour-bomb" test in Auckland perhaps encapsulates the whole saga. Politics, police escorts, "secret" travel arrangements, etc. The book contains a lot of pictures, as well as match reports for each of the tests (and tour matches) played, as well as statistics tables. A unique history in a time of change in South Africa. 160 pages.
