The Covenant, by James A. Michener (read Oct 12, 2001) This is Michener's book on South Africa, published in 1980, while apartheid still held sway. The book ends with apartheid being vigorously supported by the Boers and demonstrates the awfulness of the regime they imposed after ties to Britain were ended in 1948. The book sustained my interest, though I wished it had been written after apartheid ended. Nevertheless, this was not a bad book to read, even at this late date when South Africa is so different from what it used to be.
