Robert McBride's journey to Beverly Hills is a story of a fight against tyranny, of loyality to one friend - and of betrayal by another. For Beverly Hills is the name of the prison within Pretoria's Central Prison; the name given by the inmates for Death Row. Till Babylon Falls is an account of South Africa today. Brought up in a squalid area of Durban to which his family had been forcibly relocated, and almost fair enough to pass for white, Robert was rejected and humiliated by the white world. He joined the African National Congress and organized the daring rescue of an ANC comrade under guard in hospital - but was convicted of the car-bombing of a popular seaside bar that shocked all of white South Africa. The final twist is that Robert was married in prison, to a beautiful white woman.
