Reviews

Conway offers a fascinating account of how the SADF adapted - presenting itself as having a place for a wider range of masculinities - as popular concern with the consequences of conscription grew through-out the 1980's. 'Conway’s book is a highly readable, engaging history of a lost chapter of anti-apartheid activism, and memorializes not only the broad and costly impacts of military conscription on white society but also the deeply personal turmoil faced by individuals who refused to fight for a cause that they perceived was unjust' -- .
