520 _aSummary: "On 11 July 1963, police raided Liliesleaf Farm at Rivonia near Johannesburg, arresting alleged members of the high command of the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). Together with the already imprisoned Nelson Mandela, they were put on trial and charged with conspiring to overthrow the apartheid government by violent revolution. Their expected punishment was death." "In this book, their defense attorney, Joel Joffe, gives a blow-by-blow account of the most important trial in South Africa's history. Vividly portraying the characters of those involved, Joffe exposes the astonishing bigotry and rampant discrimination faced by the accused, as well as showing their incredible courage under fire."--Jacket.
