This remarkable collection of material is as relevant today as when it was first published; graphically demonstrating the native African's struggle for peace, freedom, and equality in his native land. The Treason Trial, held from 1956 to 1961, the Mandela Trial of 1962, and the Rivonia Trial of 1963—1964 give depth and scope to the contemporary events in South Africa. Important events like the trials clearly illustrate the relevance of the South Africa's late nineteenth and early twentieth-century history to the existing political situation in that country today.
