Rivonia Unmasked! The South African State’s Case Against Nelson Mandela, 1964
By Lauritz Strydom. New edition, now with two new appendices. First published in 1965, this book was the white South African government’s official version of the famous 1963-1964 “Rivonia Treason Trial” which saw 8 top South African Communist Party (SACP) and African National Congress (ANC) leaders, Nelson Mandela included, sentenced to life imprisonment for an incredible plan to seize power by violence in South Africa and turn it into a Marxist state. Evidence at the trial showed that the Communist parties in the Soviet Union, Algeria, China, Czechoslovakia and East Germany all actively supported the plot and that the ANC and the SACP planned a physical invasion and revolution akin to that of Vietnam or Cuba.
The Great Boer War
By Arthur Conan Doyle. Better known for his Sherlock Holmes books, this Conan Doyle history book was one of the first complete chronicles of the Anglo-Boer War—written as it happened. First published in 1902, Conan Doyle’s book became the standard by which all other histories of that conflict became to be measured.
Victory or Violence
By Arthur Kemp. Third edition. The dramatic story of South Africa’s Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB—Afrikaner Resistance Movement) and its charismatic leader Eugene Terre’Blanche.
Read here of the early founding of the AWB, the backgrounds of its leading characters, the increasing militancy which accompanied the then government’s political reform program, the development of the movement’s ideological basis, and finally, the turn to violent resistance as the program to hand over control of the country to the ANC speeded up.
No understanding of South Africa’s history is complete without this largely eyewitness account of hardline Afrikaner resistance to the end of white rule. This third edition is updated to include the 2011 murder of Eugene Terre'Blanche.
