The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

The Fall of Apartheid: The Inside Story from Smuts to Mbeki, by Robert Harvey

‘The Fall of Apartheid’ tells the story of how apartheid came into being, secured its ascendancy over the richest and most developed society in sub-Saharan Africa, and then collapsed. It reveals the full story of the secret meetings between the ANC and Afrikaners in Britain, in which South Africa's current president, Thabo Mbeki, had a direct line to President Botha. Robert Harvey's narrative helps to illuminate not just the South African problems but also more general issues on conflict and problem solving.
