Title: God, spies and lies
Description: "John Matisonn has had a bird's eye view of South Africa's progress through apartheid and democracy. As a political and foreign correspondent, and one of the pioneers of democratic South Africa's free broadcasting environment, he has known every ANC leader since Oliver Tambo and every government leader from John Forster to Jacob Zuma. Now, for the first time, this seasoned and erudite insider reveals the secrets of a 40-year career observing the politicians, their spies and the journalists who wrote about them. As a patriot, he argues that the way to a better future can be found through an unvarnished examination of the past."--Back cover.
