Synopsis
A study of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was established to document the painful history of apartheid in order to move toward a future for South Africa. Testimony of widows, police, and other citizens revealed horrible atrocities perpetrated by the security police, the role the political establishment played, and also disturbing actions by the African National Congress. Included is "Confronting the Painful Past," an essay by Tina Rosenberg that discusses ways that nations deal with history, accountability, and justice.

A singular account of the successes and failures of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission--and a penetrating look at how nations surmount legacies of violence. of photos.

Industry Reviews
"Short of reading the 3,500-page report of the Commission's findings, Martin Meredith's book is likely to remain for a long time the best guide to understanding South Africa's continuing search for truth and reconciliation."
Carrington

"[A] vivid, yet scrupulous narrative of the workings of the Commission...."
Times Literary Supplement - Dennis Walder (11/17/2000)
