“Just as he is about to undertake a risky mission from London for the underground ANC, the author is dealt a cruel blow from an unexpected quarter. This fascinating account of an innovative scientist’s life journey, with dramatic twists and turns, reflects an abiding commitment to make his country and the world a better place. The fight against the odds prevails, and reflects the ideals and integrity of a very brave human being. This is a book that lifts the spirits.”
