"When Jake White took over as Springbok coach in 2004, few supporters - and even fewer Springbok rugby players - could ever have believed that the squad he would build over four years would bring home the Webb Ellis Trophy. In Black and White is the gripping autobiography of only the second man to coach the Springboks to World Cup glory. White's story is characterised by intense determination to succeed against all odds, from a troubled childhood to his eventual elevation to arguably the toughest job in world sport. White takes readers into rugby's inner sanctum, where politicking and hidden agendas sometimes supersede the best interests of the sport, and relates the incredible highs and desperate lows of being part of the Springbok set-up. Administrative and political interference, press and public criticism, player injuries and personal sacrifices are all part and parcel of a Springbok coach's life, and White covers all these subjects in his riveting, controversial, sometimes amusing and often unbelievable story.".…

"Former Financial Mail boss Stephen Mulholland called him the 'worst unguided missile' he had ever come across. PW Botha poked Max with his famous finger and said: 'This man spent his life making trouble for everyone.' FW de Klerk called him 'one of my enemies'. Nelson Mandela, speaking at an annual foreign correspondents dinner, said: 'There is a man here tonight who is an outstanding example to all of you: Max du Preez.' Yet, a member of the Mbeki government called him 'a political commissar of apartheid'. His former boss Joe Thloloe said: 'Many say he is difficult to work with and has no respect for authority. For him there are no holy cows. But even his worst enemies will concede that he is an outstanding journalist.' Sunday Independent columnist John Carlin wrote: 'Max belongs to South Africa's heroic period; he is a character worthy of having walked on the Mandela stage. The tawdriness that is the master spirit of this age is beneath a man of his outstanding qualities.' If people say these things about him, imagine the story he has to tell . ".…

230 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xxii + 330, incl. index. As new. "Politics in South Africa is alive and vibrant, although the media often fail to reflect this. Anatomy of South Africa brings that political world to life. It presents a vivid, up-to-date picture of how power operates in the new South Africa and who really makes the decisions around here. It is people who make politics, and this book is about personalities as well as the institutions they belong to. Richard Calland takes the reader along the corridors of power - from the presidency and the cabinet to the judges and the media, via the labyrinth of the ANC-led alliance - mixing vivid anecdote with solid research. The result is an accessible yet authoritative account of who runs South Africa, and how. The title is borrowed from Anthony Sampson's influential work about who ran Britain, Anatomy of Britain. Like Sampson before him, Calland has a fly-on-the-wall, insider's approach to the people who control the power that affects us all.".…
