On April 7, 1988, Albie Sachs, an activist South African lawyer and leading member of the ANC, was car-bombed in Maputo, capital of Mozambique, by agents of South Africa's security forces. His right arm was blown off and he lost the sight of one eye. This intimate and moving account of his recovery captures the spirit of a remarkable man: his enormous optimism, his commitment to social justice, and his joyous wonder at the life that surrounds him. In a new epilogue, Sachs gives a gripping insider's view of the major public events of the last decade -- the election of Nelson Mandela, the formation of the Constitutional Court and Sachs's appointment as judge, and his own role on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
