The tech side of this is really cool but I'd also like to read more about the non-tech stuff. I wonder if the sympathetic Dutch flight attendant is still alive or the guys who actually carried the Trojan horse books to Mandela.
What an amazing story!
- tow21 2y agoCoincidentally I was reading this story yesterday: https://www.londonrecruits.org.uk/index.php/items-received-since-the-book-was-published/john-o-malley-and-joy-leman https://www.londonrecruits.org.uk/index.php/items-received-s... about the “London Recruits” in the 70s and 80s who smuggled books, leaflets, etc into apartheid SA on behalf of the ANC, doing so in such secrecy they didn’t know each others identity until 29 years after the apartheid regime fell. Joy Leman, one of the recruits, was my late father-in-law’s colleague.
- steven 2y agoShe is alive and hearing her recollections is super cool. If you follow the link to the short documentary I mentioned in the column you will see her then and now.
