The State vs. Nelson Mandela by Joel Joffe
On 11 July 1963, police raided Lilisleaf farm at Rivonia near Johannesburg, arresting alleged members of the high command of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Here, their Defence Attorney, gives an account of the most important trial in South Africa's history, portraying the characters of those involved, and exposing the discrimination faced by the accused.
"The State vsNelson Mandela is a remarkable piece of contemporary historical writing that will serve as one of the most reliable sources for understanding what happened at that trial and how we came to live to see democracy triumph in South Africa." Nelson Mandela - Nobel Prize winner and former president of South Africa
