For his active resistance to apartheid terrorism, law professor Suttner spent years in prison, under house arrest, and on the run in the 1970s and 1980s. First arrested when he was 29, he was beaten, tortured with electric shock, and held in solitary confinement because of his work with the banned ANC. To the police, he was especially hated as a white traitor, a Jew, a Communist. There have been several accounts of political prisoners on Robben Island, including stirring books by Nelson Mandela and Ahmed Kathrada, but this is one of the few by a white activist. Neither self-righteous nor heroic, Suttner tells his story in a quiet narrative, interspersed with extracts from his censored prison letters home. There may be too many letters, but they bring you close to the politics ("I can't simply opt out. . . . This alternative is not open to black people") as well as the daily detail. Most moving is his love for the tiny parakeet he was finally allowed to keep as a pet, his "Jail Bird." Hazel Rochman
