Together with the already imprisoned Nelson Mandela, they were put on trial and charged with conspiring to overthrow the apartheid government by violent revolution. Their expected punishment was death. In this compelling book, their defence attorney, Joel Joffe, gives a blow-by-blow account of the most important trial in South Africa's history, vividly portraying the characters of those involved, and exposing the astonishing bigotry and rampant discrimination faced by the accused, as well as showing their incredible courage under fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Joffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178074580X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780745800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Joel Joffe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078627094783,"sku":"9781780745800","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e54da67-8737-4aaf-80de-ea82c3128a2e.jpg?v=1685476583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-state-vs-nelson-mandela-joel-joffe-9781780745800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
