I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the global anti-apartheid movement until I read this extraordinary collection of essays. This book blew my mind! -Robin D.G. Kelly

We hear for the first time from the internationalist secretly working for the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), in the struggle to liberate South Africa from apartheid rule. They acted as couriers, provided safe houses in neighbouring states and within South Africa, helped infiltrate combatants across borders, and smuggled tons of weapons into the country in the most creative ways. Driven by a spirit of international solidarity, they were prepared to take huge risks and face great danger. The internationalists reveal what motivated them as volunteers, not mercenaries: they gained nothing for their endeavours save for the self-esteem in serving a just cause. Against such clandestine involvement, the book includes contributions from key people in the international Anti-Apartheid Movement and its public mobilisation to isolate the apartheid regime. These include worldwide campaigns like Stop the Sports Tours, boycotting of South African products and black American solidarity. The Cuban, East German and Russian contributions outlined those countries' support for the ANC and MK. The public, global Anti-Apartheid Movement campaigns provide the dimensions from which internationalists who secretly served MK emerged. Edited by Ronnie Kasrils. First published by Jacana Media (Pty) Ltd in 2021, ISBN: 978-1-4314-3202-8, this Daraja Press edition is available in North America and East Africa.
"The most important take-away is Kasrils' own deep understanding that internationalism means that no struggle, no cause, is really of 'another' " - Phyllis Bennis
"This book is a rallying cry. Today, we need the likes of Ronnie Kasrils and his comrades more than ever."- John Pilger
"A must-read for humankind who need to be constantly aware of the power and morality of international solidarity in action." - Mavuso Msimang
"... how beautiful their stories of idealism, ingenuity and courage, related with evocative detail and unusual modesty in this wondrous and heart-warming book.' - Albie Sachs, Retired Judge, Human Rights Activist
"To read this book is both to remember the past and to recognise what needs to be built in the present."-Vijay Prashad, director, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
