Reviews

`tells the story of the massacre at Sharpeville soberly and in unprecedented detail' Times Literary Supplement `Meticulous in piecing together the events' The Scotsman `[Lodge] gives good socio-political background to the massacre' Metro `Lodge's brilliantly complex yet eminently readably analysis tops a list of works of more narrow scope to offer a comprehensive view...a must read for libraries, scholars, and general readers interested in the place, period, or process of racialist South Africa's unraveling.' Library Journal `Lodge draws on oral testimony, the documentary record and thoughtful readings of photographs and film footage, as well as the work of other historians, to build an exceptionally textured picture of the build-up to the March 21 protests and their aftermath.' Mail and Guardian Online
