Summary

Watching the Wind takes us to the Front lines of South Africa's struggle to manage the tempestuous transition From apartheid to democracy. At the launching of the National Peace Accord in 1991, Susan Collin Marks was one of thousands of South AFricans who committed themselves to making the peace process work where it mattered most -- at the local level.Over the next three years, Marks and other leaders of the conflict resolution movement adopted and adapted a vast array of tools and techniques. With passion and eloquence, the author captures the drama, the personalities, and the heroism of the grassroots peace process.
