Subtitle: When Politics Is Not Enough Author: Dumani Mandela and Warren Goldstein With Author's Inscription - Rabbi Goldstein is the current Chief Rabbi of South Africa Publisher: Jacana () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 244 Dimensions: 21.1 x 14.7 x 1.4 cm +++ by Dumani Mandela and Warren Goldstein +++ African Soul Talk: When Politics Is Not Enough came about as a result of e-mail conversations between Dumani Mandela and Rabbi Warren Goldstein. This unlikely duo debates what it means to be South African and to live with dignity and integrity in a country filled with contradictions. Their upbeat discussions and often conflicting opinions result in spirited exchanges about politics, culture, religion and nation building. This is a unique dialogue between two South Africans from very different walks of life, and reflects the hope and optimism that they hold for the future of all South Africans.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge.

  Captives Courageous South African Prisoners of War World War ll by Maxwell Leigh  Published by Ashanti Publishing, 1992, 1st Edition Hardcover, 219 pages, black & white photographs and schetches Dust cover in good condition, slight shelf wear on the edges. Original price sticker on the back. Hardcover in red, white lettering. Corners and bottom of spine show slight shelf wear. Tight binding, clean inside, a beautiful book. Captives Courageous; South African prisoners of war in World War II is the ninth work in the South Africans at War series published by Ashanti Press. "Leigh has divided his book into two parts. In the first part, entitled "Into the bag", he details the capture of South Africans in the Western Desert and their rapid transition from efficient fighting men to often sickly and weak prisoners of war (POW). The Western Desert was an unforgiving environment in which to find oneself a prisoner of war. If passing fighters or bombers (of either side) did not "get" you the dysentry invariably did. The heat, lack of water and lack of compassion shown by Axis non-frontline troops towards South African prisoners of war are all documented by Leigh. He also highlights the differences South Africans experienced in the treatment meted out by Italians on the one hand and Germans on the other. Ironically this relationship was to change later in the war, when many South Africans were moved north into Germany after the collapse of Italy in mid-1943. The conditions in POW camps in Germany were much tougher than those experienced in Italy."      Please judge by these images:         Please note: Payment must be made within three days of auction close.     Please have a look at all my Items here!!

Digby- The 1st SA Infantry Brigade in Libya, France and Flanders 1915-1919 VOLUME 12: The Unknown Force by Ian Gleeson - Black, Indian and Coloured Soldiers Through Two World Wars  

This is the story of South African soldiers during the 1916 Somme offensive, which took place between the Allied forces and the Germans along the Somme River in France and was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the First World War, resulting in over a million deaths in six months. In July 1916, the men of the 1st South African Infantry Brigade were involved in recapturing the village of Lingueval and clearing Delville Wood of enemy soldiers, but they suffered extreme casualties. After six days of fighting, of the Brigade's 3433 soldiers, only 750 were left standing. The rest were dead or wounded. This book tells the stories of the men of the Brigade via their letters, diaries, and interviews that the author conducted with survivors many years ago. Not much has been written about South Africans during World War I. Surprisingly, it is a relatively untapped period of military history. This fascinating new book covers the iconic battle of Delville Wood, the most famous event involving South Africans during the war. Paperback, 280 pages Published August 2014
