[Jenneffer · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you know nothing of south african history or politics, this autobiography can serve as an introductory lesson. Paton was a surprisingly devout believer and upholder of moral justice, as well as political activist. This is the last of his set of autobiographies, i believe, and he gets caught up in lots of details. If you can muddle past some of the titles of lectures and things, it really is an insightful read. I was happy to see things from his perspective.
