THE LADY IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: Life and Times of Winnie Mandela Author: Emma Gilbey  Publisher: Vintage () ISBN-10: ISBN-13:   Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 328 Dimensions: 19.8 x 12.8 x 2.3 cm +++ by Emma Gilbey +++ "Emma Gilbey's carefully researched and fluently written book charts Winnie's gradual rise from rural teacher's daughter in the Transkei to political prima donna in Soweto, and explains in readable form the complex backdrop to her sudden fall from grace. It is an honest attempt to determine how a fundamentally decent - albeit haughty, headstrong and ambitious - woman, became an apologist for some of the worst excesses of black South Africa's armed struggle. For those who want to understand why, this book should be required reading" - Daily Telegraph.   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. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
