This book provides a bridge across a gap of time which is hard to comprehend through orthodox historical accounts. The two writers, father and son, reflect the agonies, absurdities, hopes and fears in two quite different South Africas. The first is the country entering a grim new phase of oppression during the relentless clampdown of apartheid in the late 1950s. The second is the country on the brink of the 21st century, liberated from a racist tyranny and vibrant with new opportunities and challenges, but facing all the confusions and tensions of that sudden freedom. Anthony Sampson
