Description
Chris Hani's assassination in 1993 gave rise to one of South Africa's greatest political questions: if he had survived, what impact would he have had on the ANC government? On the 30th anniversary of his murder by right-wing fanatics, this updated version of the best-selling Hani: A Life Too Short re-evaluates his legacy and traces his life from his childhood in rural Transkei to the crisis in the ANC camps in Angola in the 1980s and the heady dawn of South Africa's freedom.
Drawing on interviews and the recollections of those who knew him, this vividly written book provides a detailed account of the life of a hero of South Africa's liberation, a communist party leader and Umkhonto we Sizwe chief of staff who was both an intellectual and a fighter.
