SIGNED, On The Contrary, leading the opposition in a Democratic South Africa, Jonathan Ball, photographic illustration, introduction, appendix, notes, index, 766 pages, 150 x 230 mm, condition:very good.

The author was leader of the official opposition from 1999 to 2007, and South African Ambassador to Argentina from 2009 to 2012. Highly articulate and a charming man in person, the author has written a highly entertaining yet instructive account of the early years of the democratic process in South Africa.


The journalist, Xolela Mangcu said: "As for Tony Leon? The man is the best thing to have happened to the media in the past many years, particularly over the course of the nastiest political analysis in the history of our young democracy. His turn of phrase is impeccable, and his analysis without any trace of prejudice. Through political analysis Tony may make up for what he lost in active politics."

  • Overall Condition: very good
  • Size: 150 x 230 mm
