Description: A detailed and readable history of the African National Congress. Holland's clear, journalistic style follows the ANC from its beginning days of peaceful agitation in 1912 through the first public demonstration in 1919 and the defiance during the 1950s to its status today. Special attention is given to the struggles of leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Anton Lembede, and Walter Sisulu. Comparisons of changes in the white government as well as the ANC highlight policy changes and the passage of repressive laws. Holland uses personal interviews as well as research in this book that concludes with the banning of the ANC and the results of that act.
