The Bang-Bang Club: The Making Of The New South Africa

The Bang-Bang Club was a group of four young photographers who covered the last years of apartheid, taking many of the photographs that encapsulate the final years of white South Africa. Two of them won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for individual photos. One of the four died, shot by Inkatha gunmen while working, a second committed suicide weeks after winning the Pulitzer. This book will be by the two surviving members of the group, telling the story of four remarkable young men, the stresses and tensions of working as a war photographer, the relationships between them and the story of the end of apartheid. An immensely powerful and harrowing book.
