Outsmarting Apartheid is a major contribution to the study of 'soft diplomacy.' It is a wonderful picture of how the public diplomacy section of an embassy works and the positive impact it can have on advancing US interests. The detail of daily life under apartheid for South Africans of all races is fascinating and will become more important as memories of that period recede. - John Campbell, author of Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink, Updated Edition This book fills an important void in the literature-it provides great insight, from the point of view of actual participants, in the dismantling of apartheid and the construction of a postapartheid democratic system in South Africa. - John Mukum Mbaku, author of Corruption in Africa: Causes, Consequences, and Cleanups
