Zapiro makes South African history fun. It is useful ánd amusing to look back at his earlier collections to see what we remember of events in years gone by, and to see the intensity and humour in his depictions. This book contains the classics cartoon of the response to the announcement in 1997 that Athens and not Cape Town would host the 2004 Olympic Games. To this day it remains one of Zapiro's most famous works.
Zapiro se vlymskerp satire maak 'n speurtog deur die onlangse Suid-Afrikaanse verlede 'n plesier. Sy klassieke spotprent in reaksie op die aankondiging dat Athene bo Kaapstad verkies is om die 2004 Olimpiese Spele aan te bied, sluit hierdie versameling af - tot op hede steeds een van Zapiro se mees beroemde spotprente.
