No Future Without Forgiveness is a quintessentially humane account of an extraordinary life. Desmond Tutu describes his childhood & coming of age in the apartheid era in South Africa. He examines his reactions on being able to vote for the first time at the age of 62
- & on Nelson Mandelas election also his feelings on being Archbishop of Cape Town & his award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. No Future Without Forgiveness is also his fascinating experience as head of South Africas Truth & Reconciliation Commission.

Tutu draws important parallels between the Commissioners approach to the situation in South Africa with other areas of conflict such as Northern Ireland the Middle East Rwanda & the Balkans.

As one of the fastest bowlers the world has seen Michael Holding went by the haunting nickname Whispering Death claiming 249 Test wickets. Despite having not laced his bowling boots since 1989 it remains a fitting sobriquet. As a commentator & administrator Holding has delivered his views on cricket in the same manner that he played the game: he speaks softly with a rich Jamaican rhythm & is calculated in either criticism or compliment. NO HOLDING BACK charts his effortless transition from one of the great players to one of the great pundits. Holding graphically describes his days as a player looking back at how he tried to deliberately hurt batsmen on the wastelands of Kingston & his first match for Jamaica when he almost collapsed from exhaustion
- after only four overs! There is time too to divulge what it was like to tour with the West Indies & unmissable insights about sharing a dressing room with other legends of the game like Clive Lloyd Sir Viv Richards & Malcolm Marshall. Holding does not shirk the big issues as he discusses how the West Indies have slipped following their halcyon days openly assesses Brian Lara & laments the hypocrisy over the state of the game in the region. The controversy surrounding the Allen Stanford $20m spectacle the ICCs handling of the abandoned England v Pakistan match player power illegal bowling actions & the threat of Twenty 20 to the Test game are all subjects which Holding tackles with characteristic knowledge & class.
