These extraordinarily moving stories from South Africa report not on the violence of the evening news but on the quiet anguish and brutality suffered by all the nation's inhabitants, both black and white.". 134 pp. Very near fine in a very good dustjacket (initials at bottom edge of textblock, some spotting to the spine of the dj, tear at upper edge.) .ISBN # 0-395432960
