Endgame ... secret negogiation of the entrenched government and the rebel African N

[Crabtownboy]

This excellent retelling of the secret talks that went on between the ANC and white government in South Africa and show that we, the average person, have little or no real idea of what is really going on in our world. At the end of the program these discussions, unknown fact to me, later led the IRA to talk to the the ANC on lessons learned in finding peace with the 'enemy', and now the IRA are consulting with other terrorist groups around the world on how to bring about negotiated peace. This is a fascinating look at this recent era that many of us can remember ... but now know we knew little about.

A nation teeters on the brink of civil war in this real-life political thriller about the negotiations that led to the end of apartheid in South Africa and the release of Nelson Mandela. Michael Young, a British businessman working in South Africa, has the audacious hope of bringing both sides of the apartheid conflict together — the entrenched government and the rebel African National Congress (ANC). But when his dream of secret talks is realized on an estate in England, it quickly becomes clear that common ground will be elusive as explosive tensions boil just below the surface. Against a backdrop of danger, terrorism and escalating unrest, a high-stakes chess match plays out, ultimately proving that peace is possible.
