Abstract:
"The Fall of Apartheid tells the story of how apartheid came into being, secured its ascendancy over the richest and most developed society in sub-Saharan Africa, and then collapsed. It reveals the full story of the secret meetings between the ANC and Afrikaners in Britain, in which South Africa's current president, Thabo Mbeki, had a direct line to President Botha. Robert Harvey's narrative helps to illuminate not just the South African problems but also more general issues on conflict and problem solving."--Jacket.
