Publisher: Don Nelson 1985

Condition: Good. The original printed boards without a DJ are shelf rubbed and edge worn/bumped. This book was read and enjoyed but is still overall good. The book has no inscriptions and the binding is excellent. Tanning/Browning of pages and fading on spine area.

The message in this book reveals that history is made not of the actions of nations or governments or a particular breed of men, but of individual men and women, each a distinct personality, each with his or her own little story to tell - ordinary men and women who happen to get caught up by circumstance. These are the heroes. The criterion on which selection of events covered was based was twofold: the impact of the incidents on the newspapers of the time; and their significance in the context of South African history.
