With the passing of Nelson Mandela, ‘the father of the nation’, comes the end of an era, and the moment to look back on his remarkable saving, and remaking, of South Africa. After years of oppression and racial inequality, concentrated violence and apartheid, Mandela led the country to unite ‘for the freedom of us all’ as the country’s first black President.

SOUTH AFRICA: HISTORY IN AN HOUR gives a lively account of the formation of modern South Africa, from the first contact with seventeenth-century European sailors, through the colonial era, the Boer Wars, apartheid and the establishment of a tolerant democracy in the late twentieth century. Here is a clear and fascinating overview of the emergence of the ‘Rainbow Nation’.

Ratings and reviews

One sided lie that not surprisingly is promoted by Google on the front page and depicts Nelson Mandela as a hero, funny thing during the apartheid all was peaceful and well, ever since South Africa decolonized the black on white murder skyrocketed in 10 year by 20X time more than white murdered blacks in 70 years alone, Today bloodthirsty president of South Africa is encouraging Genocide of whites. Nothing is made better by decolonization just globalist elites getting their genocide.

This book is a lie. It is only a onesided view of the true history of this country. The true gruesome happenings of the terrorist acts and how comunism haa triumphed is not made public. It is ironic that America has faught vommunism for so long, yet here it as a nation is blinded by the way comunism has destroyed the afrivan continent!!! All the better for them i suppose. Now there is no resistance against America plundering the riches of Africa.

5 Stars. Totally absorbing. Shocking but necessary. Brilliant!
