470 pages. Soft cover with titling to the front cover and spine, and a dust jacket, slightly edge worn, that depicts four montages of the treason trial accused. The back cover has a small crease mark which is hidden by the dust jacket.
This 2006 publication was a special edition produced to commemorate the 50th Anniversary since the 1956 Treason Trial. It chronicles the biographies of all 156 accused.
Zanele and Thabo Mbeki are referenced on the inside flap of the dust jacket: "Indeed, there are few books that give elaborate and accurate accounts of the heroic stories of our people, the communities and the individuals, as they engaged in the titanic struggles to free our country from colonialism and apartheid."
Phyllis Naidoo was a political activist, lawyer and academic. She joined the Natal Indian Congress, and later the ANC. Because of her underground work, Naidoo was forced to flee into exile in Lesotho in 1977. Two years later she was severely injured by a parcel bomb sent by the apartheid security police. Her body was badly scarred and her hearing was affected. She returned to South Africa after the ANC was unbanned in 1990.
In 2003, the South African Government conferred the Order Of Luthuli In Silver on Phyllis Naidoo for her outstanding contribution to Human Rights and the struggle Against Apartheid.
