Description
Born into an eminent Afrikaner family, Bram Fischer defended Mandela and Sisulu at the Rivonia trial and was imprisoned himself for his membership of the Communist Party. The story of the pioneering anti-apartheid leader who led Nelson Mandela’s defense at the Rivonia trial. One of the few Afrikaners to join the resistance movement, considered a traitor by the apartheid regime, he sacrificed material success and eventually his life to do what he believed was right.
What makes the book excellent is the painstaking research and chronicling of the transformation of Bram from a staunch Afrikaner nationalist (quite natural given his background) into a left wing liberal. A reader will be struck by Bram’s courage – not only to make the required sacrifices but also to question his own beliefs and allow his sense of identity to evolve and broaden. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the genesis of true greatness.
