Allister Sparks Libri
Allister Haddon Sparks è stato uno scrittore, giornalista e commentatore politico sudafricano. Ha ottenuto notorietà come direttore di The Rand Daily Mail, che ha svelato lo scandalo Muldergate, rivelando finanziamenti segreti per progetti informativi del governo dell'apartheid. Sparks è autore di diversi libri acclamati che descrivono in dettaglio la transizione del Sudafrica dall'apartheid. Attraverso la sua scrittura, Sparks ha cercato di comprendere e illuminare le complesse trasformazioni politiche e sociali della sua nazione.
Allister Sparks joined his first newspaper at age 17 and was pitched headlong into the vortex of South Africa's stormy politics. The Sword and the Pen is the story of how as a journalist he observed, chronicled and participated in his country's unfolding drama for more than 66 years, covering events from the premiership of DF Malan to the presidency of Jacob Zuma, witnessing at close range the rise and fall of apartheid and the rise and crisis of the new South Africa. In trenchant prose, Sparks has written a remarkable account of both a life lived to its full as well as the surrounding narrative of South Africa from the birth of apartheid, the rise of political opposition, the dawn of democracy, right through to the crisis we are experiencing today.
