Friendly authorial inscriptions to ffep signed by both authors. Includes some correspondence with authors and a 'letter to the editor' from each, one in Volksblad 2007. "Hoe gebeur dit dat 'n party wat vir amper 'n eeu bestaan en vir 55jaar regeer het, waarvan 46 jaar onondebroke, disintegreer en die bespotting van die ganse land word? Hoe gebeur dit dat 'nparty wat op 'n tyd 600 takke gehad het net in die provinsie waarin dit in 1914 gestig is, en dekades lank al die parlementere en provinsiale setels gehou het, eenvoudig uitgewis wordHierdie boek is 'n poging om die gebeure in en om die (N)NP na die geskiedkundige verkiesing in 1994 en wat in 2004 tot die party se ondergang gelei het, oorsigtelik en vanuit 'n Vrystaatse perspektief te belig. Sake wat van 1994 tot 1998 lotsbepalend was vir die NP, en die oorlewingstryd van die NNP vanaf die verkiesing in 1999 tot en met die party se ontbinding in 2006 word met groot eerlikheid verhaal, en uiteindelik word die vraag of die (N)NP se ondergang die party se onvermydelike lot of hulle eie skuld was, met al die insig wat terugkyk bring, beantwoord".

Chikane, Frank.

Eight Days in September. The Removal of Thabo Mbeki.

Picador. Johannesburg 2012. 271pp softcover. 0.4kg. No inscriptions. A Fine copy. ISBN: 9781770102217 Author was Secretary of the Cabinet and Director General of the Presidency at the time of the events covered here. A behind-the-scenes account of the turbulent eight-day period in September 2008 that led to the removal of Thabo Mbeki as President. Builds on the so-called Chikane Files, a series of controversial articles that Chikane published with Independant Newspapers in 2010 to provide an insider's perspective on this period in South Africa's recent history, and to explore Thabo Mbeki's legacy. Unfortunately removing AIDS-denier Thabo Mbeki led to the installation of state-capture Jacob Zuma, so not really any improvement at all!

De Jonge, Klaas.

Dagboek Uit Pretoria. Voorwoord En Verantwoording Door Karel Roskam.

Van Gennep. Amsterdam 1987. 204pp illustrated paperback. No inscription, spine lean else VG+ condition. ISBN: 9060127390 Dutch text. Dagboek uit Pretoria beschrijft Klaas de Jonge's tweejarige verblijf in de ederlandse ambassade in Zuid Afrika en zijn geheime activiteiten die eraan voorafgingen. Het dagboek is meer dan een uiterst leesbar verslag van een even absurd als benauwend avontuur. De kracht van het dagboek is vooral dat het tastbaar duidelijk maakt dat Zuid-Afrika niet alleen maar een ontwikkeld land met een verwerpelijke rassenscheiding is. Het is een bezet Afrikaans land onder een schrikbewind dat bovendien de hele regio terroriseert. Tegen de achtergrond van de massale armoede, honger en rechteloosheid, de daglikse moorden en martelingen, zien de activiteiten van Klaas de Jonge er heel anders uit dan wat zo gemakkelijk als "terrorisme" wordt omschreven. Daboek Uit Pretoria is een opwindend antifascistisch document van de eerste orde.
