Selling Apartheid: South Africa's Global Propaganda War

By Ron Nixon

Selling Apartheid tells the story of the South African propaganda campaign, run with military precision, which involved a worldwide network of supporters, including global corporations with business operations in South Africa, conservative religious organizations and an unlikely coalition of liberal US black clergy and anti-communist black conservatives aligned with right-wing Cold War politicians. The book details interviews with many of the players, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the attempt to sell apartheid abroad.
