Description: Loosing the Bonds is the dramatically told story of how South Africa and the United States became entangled in each other's struggle for justice in the second half of the twentieth century. At its core is the enduring issue of race; through its pages marches a parade of remarkable personalities - from John F. Kennedy to Nelson Mandela, from Martin Luther King to Desmond Tutu - all tested and tempered by this epic conflict.
