When South Africa's apartheid government charged Nelson Mandela with planning its        overthrow in 1963, most observers feared that he would be sentenced to death. But        the support he and his fellow activists in the African National Congress received        during his trial not only saved his life, but also enabled him to save his        country.In Saving Nelson Mandela, South African law expert Kenneth S. Broun        recreates the trial--called the "e;Rivonia"e; Trial after the Johannesburg suburb where        police seized Mandela. Based upon interviews with many of the case's primary figures        and portions of the trial transcript, Broun situates readers inside the courtroom at        the imposing Palace of Justice in Pretoria. Here, the trial unfolds through a        dramatic narrative that captures the courage of the accused and their defense team,        as well as the personal prejudices that colored the entire trial. The Rivonia trial        had no jury and only a superficial aura of due process, combined with heavy security        that symbolized the apartheid government's system of repression. Broun shows how        outstanding advocacy, combined with widespread public support, in fact backfired on        apartheid leaders, who sealed their own fate.Despite his 27-year incarceration,        Mandela's ultimate release helped move his country from the racial tyranny of        apartheid toward democracy. As documented in this inspirational book, the Rivonia        trial was a critical milestone that helped chart the end of Apartheid and the future        of a new South Africa.
