Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A tour de force of an extraordinary half-century of campaigning for justice' – Helen Clark, former New Zealand Prime Minister and United Nations Development Chief Peter Hain – famous for his commitment to the anti-apartheid struggle – has had a dramatic 50-year political career, both in Britain and in his childhood home of South Africa, in an extraordinary journey from Pretoria to the House of Lords. Hain vividly describes the arrest and harassment of his activist parents and their friends in the early 1960s, the hanging of a close family friend, and the Hains' enforced London exile in 1966. After organising militant campaigns in the UK against touring South African rugby and cricket sides, he was dubbed 'Public Enemy Number One' by the South African media. Narrowly escaping jail for disrupting all-white South African sports tours, he was maliciously framed for bank robbery and nearly assassinated by a letter bomb. In 2017–2018 he used British parliamentary privilege to expose looting and money laundering in then President Jacob Zuma's administration, informed by a 'Deep Throat' source. While acknowledging that the ANC government has lost its way, Hain exhorts South Africans to re-embrace Nelson Mandela's vision.

Download or read book Storm over South Africa written by Michael G. Bergen and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storm over South Africa follows the lives and tribulations of a diverse group of characters through the Second Anglo-Boer War from 1899 to 1902 in South Africa. They belonged to different levels of the opposing societies, and the story follows their actual life-and-death experiences in this conflict. The characters include the seventeen-year-old son of a Boer president, a young shipbuilding dock worker and his military nurse girlfriend from the industrial northeast of England, and a young Canadian soldier who volunteered for Canadas first campaign outside its borders. Involved too are such illustrious British participants as Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Frederick Roberts, and the generals Kitchener, Ian Hamilton, and Robert Baden-Powell, among others. Boer leaders involved include the generals Christiaan de Wet, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, and Jan Smuts. The reader is guided through the various twists and turns of the first major British conflict of the twentieth century from its beginning through to its end. The naivety and excitement of combatants in the lead-up to and beginning of the Second Anglo-Boer War was contagious. It pulled many naive young men into the maelstrom of combat. The failures, frustrations, disappointments, disillusionments, and suffering soon emerged. It is a tale of imperial arrogance, determination, stubbornness, innocence, love, and loss experienced in a rugged and alluring land far from the heart of the British Empire.
