Selling Apartheid
South Africa's Global Propaganda War
Costing around $100 million annually, and run with vigourous efficiency for fifty years, the campaign drew in an elaborate network of supporters, including global corporations with business operations in South Africa, conservative religious organisations, and an unlikely coalition of liberal black clergy and anti-communist black conservatives aligned with right-wing Cold War politicians.
Journalist Ron Nixon brings together interviews with key players, and thousands of previously unreleased records from US, British and South African archives, to provide a fast-paced and historically rich account of a little-known history.
Ron Nixon is the global investigations editor for the Associated Press. Previously he was homeland security correspondent for the New York Times where he covered border and aviation security, immigration, cybercrime and violent extremism. He is the author of Selling Apartheid (Pluto, 2016).
