The soft vengeance of a freedom fighter

On April 7, 1988, Albie Sachs, an activist South African lawyer and a leading member of the ANC, was car-bombed in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, by agents of South Africa's security forces. His right arm was blown off, and he lost sight in one eye. This intimate and moving account of his recovery traces the gradual recuperation of his broken body and his triumphant reentry into the world, where his dream of soft vengeance was realized with the achievement of democracy in South Africa. This book captures the spirit of a remarkable man: his enormous optimism, his commitment to social justic.

  • "In 1988 after decades as an anti-apartheid activist and member of the ANC Albie Sachs lost his right arm and an eye when his car was blown up by South African security agents. He was already living in exile and had been imprisoned twice but as he recovered from his injuries he decided that he would write his way to recovery. The Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter is his own moving and intimate account of his long recovery in a hospital and rehabilitation unit and his gradual re-entry into life and politics and the parallel emergence of an apartheid-free South Africa. Sachs writes of his years."@en
