Omschrijving
This book is an unusual, imaginative braiding together of two countries – the United States and South Africa – and two streams of history: the growth of democracy, and the growth of a probing, vibrant, defiant press. Maggie Messitt has a fine eye for the telling detail, the shocking fact, the unsung hero or heroine.
