Tigers do more than just crouch in China. The Flying Tigers were US airmen who flew into China during the Second World War. Some say that their presence in the Far East was the final straw that led to Japan’s decision to attack Pearl Harbor. For six months, from December 1941 to June 1942, they provided a crucial last ditch aerial defence of China. Only fragments of their story have been told - until now.

This is the story of the apartment in downtown Johannesburg that, between the late 1940s and early 1960s, became a hub of resistance against apartheid. Nelson Mandela described it as the place where “the first seeds of non-racialism were sown and a wider concept of the nation came into being.” He was concerned that history accurately record the role played by all freedom-loving people towards the final liberation of the country.

In the 1930s, a black postal worker from Harlem named Victor Green published a book that would become part travel guide and part survival guide.
