Ad & Wal : values, duty, sacrifice in apartheid South Africa /
Hain, Peter,1950-author.
What would you do if you lived under the ugliest of regimes, a byword for repression and injustice? What would you do if you knew that you could stay safe only if you stayed quiet? Most of us like to think we'd stand up to fight against evil, and yet the vast majority of white South Africans either stood by and said nothing or actively participated in the oppression and carnage during apartheid. 'Ad and Wal' is the story of two average people who became heroes, two survivors who did what they thought was right, two parents who rebelled against the apartheid regime knowing they were putting themselves in grave danger. It is the story of an ordinary couple who did extraordinary things despite the odds. How did they come to their decision? What exactly did they do? What can we learn from their tale?
