Trevor Huddleston
- Return to South Africa (bc1-624)
Archbishop Trevor Huddleston is a prophet and a hero - the man who confronted the West with the horrors of apartheid. He left South Africa in 1956. His book of the same year, Naught for your Comfort, sold 250,000 copies. The white oppressors would never rest easy again. In 1991, after years of tireless campaigning, and at the age of 79, Huddleston returned to South Africa. This is his account of the journey - the ecstasy as he embraced old friends, and the agony as he surveyed the new 'killing fields' in a country where discrimination is far from dead.
