Africa Confidential cover

Using its formidable network of correspondents and contacts, Africa Confidential has produced 400 incisive biographies and commentaries on the people who are shaping Southern Africa, ranging from politicians, business people and the military to writers and religious leaders.

"Patrick Smith, his research-Sherpa Juliet Amissah and the team at the authoritative London-based newsletter Africa Confidential have produced a superb slice of political life in a much-misunderstood region. Apart from its use as a reference tool and contact manual, this book distils four turbulent decades through thumbnail sketches of vital players ... this is a definitive political snapshot of fin-de-siècle Southern Africa." Andrew Manley, Times Literary Supplement
