A captivating and inspiring account of a remarkable and principled advocate
Philippe Sands

Well-crafted, extensively researched, and utterly captivating, The Spectator

Meticulously researched, The Times

Kentridge stands among a multitude of lawyers to whom I shall remain forever indebted, and whose unwavering battles against injustice serve as a profound source of inspiration for us all.

David Lammy

Sydney Kentridge has established himself as South Africa's foremost anti-apartheid advocate, his story intricately intertwined with the nation's journey towards eradicating racial injustice and oppression. He is the sole advocate to have represented three recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize: Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Chief Albert Lutuli. Already renowned worldwide for his landmark cases, including the Treason Trial of Nelson Mandela and the other prominent members of the ANC, the inquiry into the Sharpeville massacre, and the inquest into the death of Steve Biko, he subsequently assumed the role of England's premier advocate.

Through the pivotal moments of the legal battle against apartheid, cases that captured global attention, this biography paints a vivid portrait of unwavering moral stature.
