War of Words Memoirs of a South African Journalist

"It would be illustrative to include my favorite sentence in the book that explains in what way, in the year 1960, Pogrund was a true pioneer: 'The scope of my beat, covering black existence, grew apace, spreading from the Johannesburg area to the rural ''reserves'' for blacks, plus the three territories then under British colonial rule that adjoined South Africa.' 'Covering black existence' -- what an incredible phrase. Within the pages of a newspaper aimed at English-speaking whites, while other correspondents covered garden parties or labor rallies, Pogrund was responsible for 70 percent of the population, plus all of present-day Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland."Pogrund, Benjamin is the author of 'War of Words Memoirs of a South African Journalist', published 2000 under ISBN 9781888363715 and ISBN 1888363711.
