This book lays bare the global propaganda war waged by the South African
government in the attempt to bolster support for their apartheid
regime. The world-wide campaign consisted of the government burnishing
its image overseas, selling apartheid to the US and the UK in
particular. Costing around $100 million annually, and run with vigourous
efficiency for fifty years, the campaign drew in an elaborate network
of supporters, including global corporations with business operations in
South Africa, conservative religious organisations, and an unlikely
coalition of liberal black clergy and anti-communist black conservatives
aligned with right-wing Cold War politicians.
Journalist Ron
Nixon brings together interviews with key players, and thousands of
previously unreleased records from US, British and South African
archives, to provide a fast-paced and historically rich account of a
little-known history.
