Af: John Carlin Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

Now filmed as INVICTUS directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2008

As the day of the final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup dawned, and the Springboks faced New Zealand''s all-conquering All Blacks, more was at stake than a sporting trophy. When Nelson Mandela appeared wearing a Springboks jersey and led the all-white Afrikaner-dominated team in singing South Africa''s new national anthem, he conquered the hearts of white South Africa.

Playing the Enemy tells the extraordinary human story of how that moment became possible. It shows how a sport, once the preserve of South Africa''s Afrikaans-speaking minority, came to unify the new rainbow nation, and tells of how - just occasionally - something as simple as a game really can help people to rise above themselves and see beyond their differences.
