Manifesto of the hardline leader of the right-wing Herstigde Nasionale Party.

Good condition. "Sandton, the new municipality north of Johannesburg, is recognized as one of the most prosperous and most rapidly growing communities in South Africa. Little is known of Sandton's history and few people are aware that voortrekker settlers lived in the area in the first half of the nineteenth century. While Johannesburg was growing into a big mining town, a few isolated farmers, about ten kilometres to the north, formed the beginnings of a community. The author, Juliet Marais Louw, who lived in the area, describes the quaint and often…

Lamination lifting very slightly from corner of upper cover; penned annotation to final page of Glossary. Very good condition. "Waiting for the Moon is a riveting story that spans the generations and the years between the 1890s and the 1950s, moving swiftly across the landscape of southern Africa. It is a novel of displacement, exile and the search for identity wherein Keegan masterfully prises open and explores the inner demons of South Africa's divided and conflicted past. It is a story of lost dreams and sad endings, of endurance and survival, yet it is told with verve, compassion and humour. ... Tim Keegan has achieved an extraordinary feat in combining the genre of the novel with sharp historical insights and attention to detail. ... Waiting for the Moon, in its richness and authenticity of detail, is a feat of the literary and the historical imagination ..." .

(New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1998) 0395868866. 210 x 140 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (x) + 259; map. Lower cover and final leaves a little creased; sunned on spine; light browning. Very good. 'The New York Times says, "Christopher Hunt makes a lively travel companion." This time he sets his sights on Cuba, where crumbling but elegant facades overlook shady street activities, where vintage Ford Fairlanes rumble past Soviet Ladas in the fast lanes of eerily deserted boulevards, and where an aging Fidel Castro is struggling to maintain his grip on a population yearning for aire libre, or at least Air Jordans. When an inquisitive and mischievous American lands in Cuba and begins asking, "Where's Fidel?" the answers take him from Havana's squalid alleys to its steamy nightclubs from Cuba's endless expanses of sugar cane to the craggy peaks that once sheltered the bearded dictator.' .

"The result is a book brimming with ideas, insights, people and events; at once thoughtful and exciting, mellow yet full of promise, autobiographical but also topical. For all the apparent diversity of its elements - world leaders, writers, tribespeople, politicians, intriguing stories of human and animal life - they are held together by Laurens van der Post's distinctive and cohesive vision. All form part of a whole, a positive, healing, unifying outlook which is sustained by a strong set of values forged from a lifetime of intense experience and challenge. For those who have never ventured with Laurens van der Post before, A Walk with a White Bushman offers a tempting preamble to many longer…

'This is a family story set round a house, steeped in tradition, which stands just outside Cape Town. The time is the early nineteenth century and the heroine is Alison Vernon. She is a strong, but tolerant, character and it is her love for her husband and her acceptance of his infidelities that makes the main thread of the book. Through this family story, the story of tghe Dutch and English settlers in South Africa is told-not dramatically, but simply, as the lives of the people connected with this family are affected by their difficulties.' .

Very good condition. "The ANC's cadre deployment has inextricably entwined the ruling party and the state. In KwaZulu-Natal, the party's powerhouse province, IFP-ANC warfare has morphed into an internal ANC battle that has created a monster of competing patronage networks. While leaders avert their gaze, comrades are killing each other for jobs and tenders. Corruption, failed policing and the izinkabi hitmen of the taxi industry loom large as the author investigates the battlefield that is KwaZulu-Natal which threatens to spread across the country. Travel with Ardé across the dusty towns of the provincial hinterland into the dark heart of South Africa's 'culture of blood'." .

This is, however, far more than just an account of men in battle. Woven through are details of the political background to the conflict and the diplomatic initiatives which governed the lives and deaths of young Cuban, South…
