Book Synopsis
The history of the antiapartheid movement brings up images of boycotts and public campaigns in the UK, but another story went on behind the scenes, in secret.

Trade Review
"Schechter was 25 then, and attending the London School of Economics. He flew from 'swinging London' to apartheid Pretoria, his assignment to make mail drops to anti-apartheid activists and set off harmless 'poster bombs' at prearranged times to demonstrate the ANC remained a political force despite that country's harsh repression. Schechter's recollection, entitled 'The Day I Joined the Revolution' - which includes a poem he wrote at the time - is one of 37 revealing, firsthand accounts offered by people with similar assignments in "London Recruits"." --www.BuffaloNews.com
