The extraordinary story of a pioneering anti-apartheid leader.

"This is the story not only of an extraordinary personality but also an extraordinary family, and the time and place of one of the twentieth century's most devastating experiments in the denial of common humanity. How Bram Fischer resolved – in sacrifice of material success, easy honours, personal freedom and finally his life – the contradictions of his situation as a white and Afrikaner, is told with honesty, deep intelligence and admirable skill worthy of such a subject. The apartheid government would not give Fischer's ashes to his children. He has no monument in stone; but his book is testimony that his life continues in his great contribution to the free South Africa now realised."
- Nadine Gordimer

"A fascinating and original story of the life and times of a great South African … It is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of modern South African history."
- Thomas G. Karis
