Description: The African National Congress (ANC) is the oldest political party in South Africa. It was founded in 1912 and it has always worked to integrate all the people of South Africa into a democratic system. It thus predates all the other parties which have been set up to advance the interests of particular groups. Dr Meli has written the first history of this party. Its story is central to the South African tragedy. It has survived despite all efforts of successive South African governments to ignore its demands, to buy it off with token offers or to harass it into silence. Its story is central to the future of South Africa. It has at last been understood by the British, American and other Western governments that no South African settlement is possible without dealing with the ANC. Covert moves have shown that the South African government must have privately realised this some time ago whatever they say to their supporters within South Africa, in Whitehall and in Washington.
