My Traitor's Heart: A South African Exile Returns to Face His Country, His Tribe, and His Conscience [J0120]

1990 - HCDJ Nice clean condition. A relative of the architect of apartheid who left the country offers his observations on his return, discussing the extremists that continue to divide the country

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Honest, difficult to read but a thorough investigation of the paradox of white South Africa. One of the best books on SA I have read in a long time. Most of his predictions never came to pass but this book is mostly about a man's inner turmoil with the morality of his place as an Afrikaner in Africa."; "It was incredibly interesting to see how he documented his perspective of apartheid as a direct descendant of one of the original colonizers of South Africa who was one of the architects of apartheid. He didn't shy away from depicting how truly dehumanizing apartheid was at its peak and very descriptively recorded how the South African responded to anarchy and the dismantling of apartheid with all-encompassing violence."; "I wanted to stand and give a round of applause after reading this. Raw truth with the emphasis on raw."
