"Anyone who wants to understand South Africa today needs to know this history. This book aims for the first time to provide a full account of the ANC's years in exile, penetrating the secrecy that the organisation erected around itself and testing the myths that emerged from that period. It is notable for using exceptionally wide range of sources, including the many biographies and autobiographies by leaders of struggle, numerous personal papers and the ANC's own archives, but also foreign archives including in East Germany, where the ANC's security personnel were trained."
