His home was bombed. His passport was confiscated. Why? - Because he dared to fight for the rights of black South Africans. Joel Carlson's career as a political lawyer began in Johannesburg in 1957 when he exposed the brutal conditions under which farm workers lived in the Bethal district and soon opponents of the Vorster regime were turning to him for their defence. Carlson presented nearly 100 cases of torture to the courts and defended Africans held under the Suppression of Communism Act and the Terrorism Act including the twenty-two Africans who were acquitted after two trials: Nelson Mandela, condemned to life imprisonment, and his wife who was one of the twenty-two. Carlson's work got him into deep trouble: several attempts were made on his life and police harrassment reached such a pitch that it became obvious that he was facing arrest. Though his passport had been confiscated, he nevertheless escaped to London. Carlson's account of his battles is a monument to his courage and tenacity in the face of the forces of repression in South Africa.
