While internal resistance to the last whites-only government grew, mandatory international sanctions prohibited sales of strategic goods and arms to South Africa. To counter this, a global covert network of nearly fifty countries was built. In complete secrecy, allies in corporations, banks, governments and intelligence agencies across the world helped illegally supply guns and move cash in one of history's biggest money laundering schemes. Whistleblowers were assassinated and ordinary people suffered. Weaving together archival material, interviews and newly declassified documents, this book exposes some of the darkest secrets of apartheid's economic crimes, their murderous consequences, and those who profited: heads of state, arms dealers, aristocrats, bankers, spies, journalists and secret lobbyists. These revelations and the difficult questions they pose, will both allow and force the new South Africa to confront its past. 650 0 $a Apartheid $z South Africa. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Foreign relations $y 1978-1989. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government $y 1978-1989. 651 0 $a South Africa $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Economic sanctions $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Illegal arms transfers $z South Africa. 650 6 $a Apartheid $z Afrique du Sud. 651 6 $a Afrique du Sud $x Relations exteÌrieures $y 1978-1989. 651 6 $a Afrique du Sud $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1978-1989. 650 6 $a Armes $x Trafic $z Afrique du Sud. 650 7 $a Apartheid. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811112 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Economic sanctions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902060 650 7 $a Expenditures, Public. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918345 650 7 $a Illegal arms transfers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967176 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DEEE3324214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
