This is a proper biography, based on interviews and documents (the author Peter Alexander is an academic). So, unusually for a Christian subject, this is no hagiography and Paton's weaknesses are frankly confronted and discussed.

In addition to the details of Paton's life (occasionally too much irrelevant detail) , there is some light shed on the history of South Africa and the rise of anti-Apartheid movements.
