Miriam Makeba in conversation with Nomsa Mwamuka.
ISBN 1-919855-39-4

This Book chronicles Makeba's life - from her early days growing up on the Reef and performing with the Manhattan Brothers - to the reception of the Polar Music Prize from King XVI Carl Gustaf of Sweden and the Gold Class Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur from the French President, Jacques Chirac.

(I myself find page 243 very interesting)
