As secretary-general of the ANC Walter was sentenced to life imprisonment with Nelson Mandela in 1964 and spent 26 years in prison until his release in 1989. With her husband and his colleagues in jail, Albertina played a crucial role in keeping the ANC alive underground, and in the 1980s was co-President of the United Democratic Front. This biography of two of South Africa's most respected figures has been written by their daughter-in-law Elinor Sisulu, a journalist with unrivalled access to her subjects, personal and family letters, and previously classified documents.
