When the young Dan Vaughan decided to work as a Dutch Reformed Church missionary, he could never have dreamt that for much of his life he would serve as right-hand man to Archbishop Desmond Tutu \u2013 or of the extraordinary experiences that would come his way as travelling companion to this effervescent icon.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Vaughan\u2019s delightful book This One Thing <\/em>is essentially Tutu\u2019s story. It takes us back to the heroic and singularly crucial role Tutu played in the struggle to end apartheid, specifically through his controversial call for sanctions against South Africa.<\/p>\n

Tutu himself, reading the manuscript before his death, described this gripping account as \u201criveting\u201d. Vaughan recounts incident by incident how the South African Council of Churches, with Tutu at the helm, courageously and relentlessly confronted the apartheid government.<\/p>\n

John Allen, Tutu\u2019s authorised biographer (Rabble-Rouser for Peace<\/em>), said This One Thing<\/em> is quite unique in providing a vivid insider’s account, conveying both the flavour and the detail of what it was like to work alongside the Arch. \u201cI know of no other work that does that, so it fills an important role in the literature on the Arch’s life \u2026 It’s also unique to my knowledge in reflecting the experience of a white South African coming in from a conservative church background.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further provides, to Allen\u2019s knowledge, the first account of sketching some of Tutu\u2019s post-retirement ministry, which has not been documented in an accessible form before. In this regard, Vaughan remembers many encounters on travels during these years to Haiti, Colombia, the USA, Northern Ireland and the Sudan among others, as Tutu crisscrossed the globe in the early years of this century with his message of peace.<\/p>\n

But Vaughan also blends his up-close account of Tutu with his own story of discovery \u2013 from indifference to his country\u2019s racism, to seeing his faith dramatically transform as he journeyed the long road with Tutu.<\/p>\n
