Fallen walls

by Jan Karel Coetzee, Otakar Hulec, Jan Coetzee

"This collection of prison writings straddles two continents, and compares and contrasts the political struggles that gave birth to two vibrant new democracies of the twenty-first century: South Africa and the Czech Republic. The triumph over decades of suffering endured by the ordinary citizens of these two countries is symbolized by their leaders, Nelson Mandela and Vaclav Havel."--BOOK JACKET.
