N2  - "On April 7, 1988, exiled South African lawyer Albie Sachs was horribly maimed in an assassination attempt inspired by his antiapartheid activities. This is his deeply moving account of the long struggle to survive and to heal--physically and spiritually." - from Google Books; "On April 7, 1988, exiled South African lawyer Albie Sachs opened his car door to begin a trip to the beach for a leisurely jog. A massive explosion threw Sachs thirty feet into the air, destroying his right arm, embedding shrapnel in his body and causing him to lose sight in one eye. The bomb, planted by a right-wing hit squad, nearly took Sach's life, but miraculously he survived. In intimate detail Sachs writes a book about his daily struggle to recover...Throughout the book Sachs carefully weighs the relationship between the personal and the political, struggling with guilt over his self-preoccupation yet never bowing to self-pity. His remarkable insight into what it means to be a human - a physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual being - is delivered with wit and style. And when Sachs is finally able to take that run on the beach seven months after the bombing, he gets his quiet vengeance, proving the indomitability of the human spirit." - From book jacket
