Selling Apartheid by Ron Nixon

'This is an important story that needed to be told about the apartheid government's global lobbying effort that tried to whitewash its reprehensible policy of racial separation' -- Eleanor Holmes Norton, US House of Representatives
'A major contribution to the scholarship on the apartheid era and the struggle for liberation in South Africa.. One cannot understand the South African freedom movement without understanding the issues that Nixon so effectively presents to the reader' -- Bill Fletcher Jr, former president of TransAfrica
'This is a tale of intrigue, rich characters and large chequebooks, played out in all the Western capitals' -- Anton Harber, Caxton Professor of Journalism, University of the Witwatersrand
'Meticulously unpacks the complex web of relationships and covert money flows that promoted South Africa's repressive policies. At a time of widening alarm over the onslaught of 'fake news', Nixon provides a disturbing exploration of the extreme lengths to which institutions can go to spread misinformation' -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
'Essential' -- Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch
