Description
Summary:To do so, [Robert K. Massie] ran a serious risk of being overwhelmed by his material and his dedication to his subject. His book links three stories, the stories of the civil rights and divestment movements in the United States and the story of the decline and fall of apartheid in South Africa. Any one of these could have made a book in itself. In Loosing the Bonds, Massie has managed to provide a history of each without losing a sense of the links among them. The result is weighty: a text just under 700 pages, supported by 150 pages of appendices and notes and a 30-page bibliography.
