{"product_id":"the-mirror-at-midnight-a-south-african-journey-9780618758258","title":"The Mirror at Midnight: A South African Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistory lies heavily on South Africa, and Adam Hochschild brings to bear a lifetime's familiarity with the country in an eye-opening work that blends history and reportage. Hochschild looks at the tensions of modern South Africa through a dramatic prism: the pivotal nineteenth-century Battle of Blood River -- which determined whether the Boers or the Zulus would control that part of the world -- and its contentious commemoration by rival groups 150 years later. This incisive book offers an unusual window onto a society that remains divided. In his epilogue, Hochschild extends his view to the astonishing political changes that have occurred in the country in recent years -- and the changes yet to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Hochschild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 6.04w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618758258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHochschild, Adam:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eADAM HOCHSCHILD is the author of ten books. \u003ci\u003eKing Leopold's Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, as was \u003ci\u003eTo End All Wars.\u003c\/i\u003e His \u003ci\u003eBury the Chains\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize and PEN USA Literary Award.
