Summary
"Spanning the years just before (and just after) Nelson Mandela's 1962 arrest, this entirely fresh history of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), or Spear of the Nation, and its revolutionary milieu brings to life the period in which Mandela and his comrades fought South Africa's apartheid regime not only with words and protests, but also with bombs and fire"--
