Da contracapa: 

“INSIDE SOUTH AFRICA APARTHEID IS 

ENFORCED WITH WHIPS AND 

ARMOURED CARS. OUTSIDE, THE SOUTH 

AFRICAN GOVERNMENT BELIEVES THAT 

IT CAN HOLD BACK THE TIDE OF 

MAJORITY RULE BY OPENING A SECOND 

FRONT IN THE NEIGHBOURING STATES.

THE WAR IS UNDECLARED AND HIDDEN, 

BUT IT HAS COST THE MAJORITY - RULED

STATES £10,000 MILION AND MORE

THAN 100,000 LIVES SINCE 1980. 

Joseph Hanlon shows how the South Afeican government is combining economic, military and political means to hold its neighbours hostage to protect itself against international pressure. Where it cannot force those countries into line by military aggression and economic destabilization, South Africa is prepared to impose its own exonomic sanctions. 

A complex relationship has thus developed forcing the majority-ruled states to trade with South Africa and sign non-aggression pacts, while at the same time they inveigh against apartheid and call for sanctions. 

The war of apartheid is not only being waged in the townships of South Africa: it is also being fought in the neighbouring states, an apartheid’s second front.“
