520 $a"From the shores of Cape Town, Robben Island seems as ordinary as any other land formation that dots the ocean. It is only when one steps onto the island, peering into its now empty prison cells, that the full impact of its history is realised. Once a colonial and apartheid prison, Robben Island is now a museum and a World Heritage Site. Although it tells the tales of the thousands that it imprisoned, Robben Island is also a story of survival. It is for this reason that prisoner 468/64 keeps going back. Since 1994, Rivonia Trialist, Ahmed Kathrada, has taken some 300 guests from around the globe on tours of the island. This book offers a glimpse into the visits and the guests themselves which, amongst other things, include heads of state, celebrities, royalty, students, activists, sports personalities and ordinary folk. Kathrada is dedicated to preserving history. It is perhaps for this reason also, that he keeps going back to the place of his imprisonment, telling the stories of his fellow revolutionaries , who despite being jailed, were sure of freedom"--Dust jacket
