"Umkhonto we Sizwe" Do you understand how this group came about, what principles it was created on? You should read Nelson Mandela's biography. Also read the essays on pbs from people in the struggle which is very truthful and raw interview scripts. To be honest when Mandela's talks about how he planned stuff and the books he read, kind of reminded me in a way of a startup. He was taking a dying organisation revamping it and positioning it for a win. His elder found him reckless and too arrogant.... honestly you should just read the interviews on the pbs link below, very entertaining, especially for history buffs like me. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mandela/
