Umkhonto weSizwe, Spear of the Nation, was arguably the last of the great liberation armies of the twentieth century-but it never got to "march triumphant into Pretoria." MK-as it was known-was the armed wing of the African National Congress, South Africa's liberation movement, that challenged the South African apartheid government.

Informative and portable, this guide offers a brief yet lively introduction to the Umkhonto we Sizwe's (MK) history; the MK was the armed wing of the African National Congress. It presents in broad outline the various stages in MK's 30-year history, and considers the difficult strategic and moral problems the army faced.
