Loosing the Bonds
Robert Kinloch Massie, an ordained Episcopal minister and longtime liberal  activist, offers the most complete account of how anti-apartheid crusaders in the United States waged economic  war on South Africa through a strategy of divestment and sanctions.Loosing the Bondsdoesn't lack for detail and may in fact be too long. But Massie nicely combines historical analysis with his insider's account of the movement, and the parallels he draws between the  United States and South Africa are often intriguing. An inspiring story of grassroots pressure sparking political change, this book is good tonic for pessimists who don't think  individual actions can make a difference.
