Drum and its mission can be summed up from one paragraph from the preface.
'Then, one day, Jim Bailey appeared, who was then the sole proprietor of Drum, and soon after, Bob Crisp mysteriously disappeared. It seemed that there had been a basic disagreement with Bob about the overall concept of the magazine. Bob wanted Drum to be paternalistic and tribal, whereas Jim's aim was to produce a modern, city-orientated, investigative magazine. Jim sacked Bob and Drum became an urban legend.'
Jurgen Schadeberg was staff photographer at Drum and his photographs have come to define The Struggle visually.
