It was always expected that sooner or later someone would write the definitive book on the sorry business of New Zealand’s sporting contacts with South Africa. It’s been a long wait however, largely due to the want of objectivity among those closest to the action and a certain diffidence about raking over the ashes among some of the personalities involved.
Malcolm Templeton’s survey, Human Rights and Race Relations‚ suffers neither from diffidence nor from subjectivity. Even though the author, a highly respected Foreign Affairs official, makes little secret as to which side he was on during the hotter years, this is a work which sticks faithfully to the facts. And it is all the more admirable for it. Templeton’s perspective was, understandably, a governmental one and the story is revealed through the lens of officialdom
