I have read a few person accounts of that time in SA, and I am not surprised in the slightest at your reaction. Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom is the first that springs to mind. Inspiring, yet heartbreaking.

Thanks! I was looking for more books on that topic.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'll second Long Walk to Freedom. While I think it's a book that everyone can profit from reading, if you have interest in that subject I think it's a no-brainer.
