This impressive volume is a fitting tribute to the life and work of a heroic man. About the Author Christina Scott is an award-winning journalist in radio, television, print and internet. She first came to South Africa, intending to stay for three months, at a time when it seemed that Nelson Mandela was never going to get out of jail. Just after she arrived, martial law was imposed. While covering mayhem in the townships the police tried to kick the pint-sized reporter out, calling her a security risk, but she stayed. (Some say she's been causing trouble ever since.) She lives in South Africa.
