Description

Selling Apartheid South Africa's Global Propaganda War is a revealing account of the South African government's extensive efforts to promote its apartheid regime abroad. Over a period of fifty years, the regime invested around $100 million annually in a global campaign to improve its image, targeting the US and the UK in particular.

The campaign drew in a diverse network of supporters, including major corporations with interests in South Africa, conservative religious organisations, and an unlikely alliance of liberal black clergy and anti-communist black conservatives aligned with right-wing politicians. Journalist Ron Nixon draws on previously unreleased records from US, British, and South African archives, as well as interviews with key players, to provide a fast-paced and historically rich narrative.
