We will be talking about this remarkable book for decades to come. -- Justice Malala, author of We have now begun our descent The authors of memoirs bearing witness to corruption typically paint themselves as moral crusaders. Refreshingly, the Crispian Olver who emerges from these pages is instead a hard, pragmatic political operator. The book is all the better for it. An important insiders account of the corruption of the ANC. -- Jonny Steinberg, author of A Man of Good Hope
