following the sharpeville massacre in 1960, the anc leadership concluded that the methods of non-violence such as those utilised by gandhi against the british empire during their colonisation of india were not suitable against the apartheid system. a military wing was formed in 1961, called umkhonto we sizwe (mk), meaning "spear of the nation", with mandela as its first leader. mk operations during the 1960s primarily involved targeting and sabotaging government facilities. mandela was arrested in 1962, convicted of sabotage in 1964 and sentenced to life imprisonment on robben island, along with sisulu and other anc leaders following the rivonia trial.

the book is not a philosophical treatise on corporations. it contains no history of the corporation movement and there is little discussion of the place occupied by the corporation in our modern business life or of the difficult problem of securing its public control in the interest of the people at large. such supervision as is needed the author seems to believe can be secured by means of publicity and careful accounting. the book is written by a man in thorough sympathy with the idea that the corporation affords the best method of carrying on modern business transactions, and the movement towards corporate consolidation he believes to be in the interest of the public as well as of the investors in corporate securities.
