How far is it possible for a country to expose the full truth of its recent history? Richard Coles talks to leading South African poet and journalist Antjie Krog , whose new book, Country of My Skull, gives a powerful account of the aims and achievements of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He also discusses a new exhibition of African photography since the 1920s which offers an intimate view of social life in Africa. Plus news and comment on tonight's announcement of the Whitbread Book Awards.
