KUDOES TO JOEL CARLSON

This book has been in my collection for many years, as I buy alot of books before I eventually get around to reading them. I'd read "My Traitor's Heart" by Rian Malan, and "Move Your Shadow" by Joseph Lelyveld. This one is also an excellent account of the brutality and injustice of Apartheid in South Africa. The latter was written much earlier than the other two and is told by a South African born lawyer. The stories of the many cases he took and causes he upheld is exciting, suspenseful but at the same time tragic. The book had me spellbound until the end where his very life is so threatened that he is forced to leave his country. This book portrays much of what blacks had to endure, pass laws, detention, prison, brutal torture without any recourse. In reading "No Neutral Ground", one can really appreciate the fact that most of the evils of this government has been crushed. I say "most" because life is still no bed of roses for the blacks of the land. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has the least bit of curiousity about what life was like there at that time. I just wish I had not waited so long to finally take this wonderful book out of my bookcase and read it! Thank you Joel, for all your compassion and dedication to helping to make life better for all humanity.
