Radical Middle

In the turbulent eighties, Denis Beckett wasn’t always very popular as editor of anti-apartheid magazine Frontline and part-time political activist. Beckett’s humorous and often self-deprecating sketches of his altercations with media bosses, black activists, narrow-minded Nationalist politicians and ordinary South Africans go beyond a mere personal account. This book documents an era and serves as a powerful reminder ‘lest we forget’.
