ОглавлениеPraise for A Just Defiance:
“A Just Defiance is the most wonderfully good book about South Africa I have read in a decade. . . . This isn’t a book review, however. It is a plea to buy and read it. I absolutely promise you’ll enjoy every page. . . . [It’s] one of those rare creations that helps [change] one isolated but hitherto divisive experience [into] a new patch of common ground for us all.”
Peter Bruce, Business Day
“Harris has succeeded brilliantly in authentically capturing the sense of the heroic politics of the ANC of the eighties. . . . [An] important and riveting work.”
David Dison, Sunday Independent
“As gripping as John Grisham and as moving and heartrending as Antjie Krog’s Country of My Skull, this book is a beautifully crafted, morally uplifting insider’s story of an extraordinary time in our recent history.”
Jenny Crwys-Williams,
talk show host of South Africa’s Jenny & Co
“Do whatever it takes to read this book: borrow it, spend your book club allowance on it, or sit in a bookstore-coffee shop everyday for a week. It should be mandatory reading for all of us.”
Julia Denny-Dimitriou, The Witness
“The book is fast-paced and absorbing, the detail intriguing and the book beautifully written. . . . A Just Defiance is a must-read.”
Makhudu Sefara, City Press
“This is not a worthy book. It is that better thing, a worthwhile book.”
Jennifer Crocker, Cape Times
“A Just Defiance breaks the mold in every possible way. . . . It’s a compelling story in and of itself.”
Kevin Ritchie, Diamond Fields Advertiser
“A painful, thought-provoking, and hope-inspiring read.”
Lindsay Slogrove, The Mercury
“An unputdownable book that deserves to become a classic.”
Reader’s Digest
“It sounds like the plot for a bestselling legal thriller and it’s written like one. A Just Defiance is a page-turning account of a little-known South African drama.”
James Mitchell, The Star
“One of the best books I’ve read this year.”
Mervyn Sloman, South African Financial Mail
“A masterful political thriller.”
Maureen Isaacson, Sunday Independent
