Book Synopsis
Jack Simons: Teacher, Scholar, Comrade is a pocket biography informed by personal knowledge of its subject, and firsthand experience of the ANC in exile in Zambia, as well as by research in the archives. Born in 1907, Jack Simons was one of the leading left-wing intellectuals - and one of the greatest teachers - in 20th century South Africa.

Trade Review
"Jack Simons was much more than a romantic revolutionary and public intellectual. He was interested in art, literature and religion. He was a walker and a lover of nature and the great outdoors. He was a good father, to many more than his own children, a gardener, and a cook. Above all, he was, as Nancy Gordon recalls, a 'warm mensch', who was totally committed to his vision of a non-racial, and ultimately socialist, South Africa". - Hugh Macmillan
