In 1976 Ben Temkin published his biography of Mangosuthu Buthelezi, but due to pressure from the publisher to meet a specific deadline and the political turmoil at the time, he was unhappy with the book.

Buthelezi – a Biography is the revised edition which has been given much more time and attention. Interviews with additional people have contributed significantly. This 415 page, 21 chapter volume, with its extensive index, is a detailed insight into the life of one of South Africa's more private politicians.

Published in paperback (2003 , London: Frank Cass/Balgowan (SA): JB Publishers) it retails at R180 and is available from Adams Campus Bookshop, Adams Musgrave and Adams West Street.
