Allister Sparks Knihy
Allister Haddon Sparks byl jihoafrický spisovatel, novinář a politický komentátor. Proslul svým působením v roli šéfredaktora deníku The Rand Daily Mail, který odhalil skandál Muldergate, jenž odhalil tajné financování informačních projektů apartheidní vlády. Sparks sepsal několik uznávaných knih o jihoafrickém přechodu od apartheidu. Prostřednictvím svého psaní se Sparks snažil pochopit a vysvětlit složité politické a společenské změny své země.
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.
