It analyses the South African crisis through the relationship between major multinationals and black political movements, and describes how the employment of black miners by the gold and diamond magnates gave rise to an urban black nationalism and attempts at a pact with the resistance.

For readers interested in the history of South Africa, apartheid, and the relations between big business and political power.
Anthony Terrell Seward Sampson was a British writer and journalist. His most notable and successful book was Anatomy of Britain, which was published in 1962 and was followed by five more "Anatomies", updating the original book under various titles. He was the grandson of the linguist John Sampson, of whom he wrote a biography, The Scholar Gypsy: The Quest For A Family Secret (1997). He also gave Nelson Mandela advice on Mandela's famous 1964 defence speech at the trial which led to his conviction for life.
