Reconciliation Through Truth cover

With a Foreword by Nelson Mandela While depicting the horrors of apartheid, this volume also proposes a constructive process designed to enable a free South Africa to avoid lapsing into a cycle of new oppression. The authors demonstrate a challenge that they believe can and must be met by the efforts of the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission. Nelson Mandela says in his Foreword to this book: 'The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is a milestone on the freedom road, and this book illuminates the journey. It presents a necessary perspective on our unfolding future. North America: St Martin's Press; South Africa: David Philip/New Africa Books

Blazingly honest, unafraid to be controversial, written with verve and elegance - this splendid book tackles the unexamined historical and political background without which we cannot say that we understand the role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. -- Nadine Gordimer
