A very engaging, and brilliantly written book. It's rare that this kind of non-fiction is written so engagingly or so thoroughly. The topic is also one that is often ignored, and I found myself hoping that Ngwane's work inspires similar writing, or that he publishes more in the future.

If you're at all interested in South African democracy, this is a fascinating look at an aspect of it that doesn't get a lot of attention. Easy reading with enough context and history that you don't need any background in order to enjoy the book, but with enough depth (and brilliant analysis) that anyone could learn from it.
