UDF: History Of United Democratic Front In South Africa
Jeremy Seekings’ The UDF: A History of Democratic Front in South Africa contains a critical look of the UDF and a good description of the township uprisings. Communist Party Deputy General Secretary Jeremy Cronin wrote a review responding to the criticism in Seekings’ book posted at:

For a perspective from outside South Africa, look for Alex Callinicos’ South Africa Between Reform and Revolution.
