though awarded by President George W. Bush in 2003 with the
Medal of Freedom Award, Mercer observes that Mandela couldn’t resist
issuing the harshest of indictments against America. “‘If there is a
country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world,’”
Mandela said, “’it is the United States of America.’”
He added that “‘they,” meaning Americans, presumably, “don’t like human beings.’” And what is Mandela’s legacy to his native South Africa?
It is the purpose of Mercer’s book to show that it is nothing to write home about. “Since he [Mandela] came to power in 1994, approximately 300,000 people have been murdered.” “Bit by barbaric bit,” she writes, “South Africa is being dismantled by official racial socialism, obscene levels of crime—organized and disorganized—AIDS, corruption, and an accrediting kleptocracy.”
