rebellion in South Africa, since, according to his comparisons with other countries, the degree of regime oppression in South Africa is higher than in most countries where rebellions have occurred. He examines in detail the successful revolution in Cuba in 1958, seeking similarities with South Africa. His conclusions are particularly interesting and directly contradict the general belief among theorists that a rebellion in South Africa is inevitable. Russell cites the behavior and loyalty of the armed forces as the prime determining factor in the success or failure of a rebellion. In South Africa, the vast majority of the armed forces are white, therefore, the chance of their defecting to a rebellious cause is nil. Since the suffering of the blacks is directly related to the benefits which whites receive, the oppression will not decrease, since it is that very oppression which maintains the status quo. Thus, it is the author's contention that non-violent means cannot supplant the whites, who have both the means and the motive to prevent any rebellion. The various modes of oppression are too tightly woven in South Africa for a rebellion to be successful without, the author feels, external intervention (from Black Africa or other nations) to act both as catalyst and as an aid for a successful revolution. This study is original and illuminating in its insights. At times, the author's assumptions are not followed up with logic or facts, but on the whole, he has offered a highly provocative and rewarding work. There are three appendices and an excellent bibliography. Highly recommended for Academic and Reference Collections.
