The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Beyond the miracle: inside the new South Africa by Allister Sparks.

Nelson Mandela’s inauguration as president of South Africa was a defining moment of the twentieth century. This book, by one of South Africa’s most distinguished journalists and commentators, brilliantly analyses what happened to South Africa in the first decade after it underwent one of the world’s few relatively bloodless revolutions.
