The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Tomorrow is Another Country – the inside story of South Africa’s negotiated revolution by Allister Sparks.

Award-winning journalist Allister Sparks, pieces together the extraordinary story of South Africa’s transformation from Apartheid to non-racial democracy, with the help of many of the key participants. Not only was he present at some of the most violent and dangerous moments, he reveals how close the whole process came to being derailed. This is a riveting account of history in the making.

“If history is a myth-making process, understanding history is a de-mythologising one: and this is what Allister Sparks achieves with a depth of knowledge, a brilliant political intelligence, a vast research—all briskly expounded in fine and vivid prose.” – Nadine Gordimer.
