If it weren't for us you'd all be speaking German!

edit: Or something. I'm American, I don't really know what I'm doing here. All I know is Mandela, Apartheid, Krugerrands, and District 9.

Oh and The Power of One. That book is amazing.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay is great - it follows the life a young man in South Africa as he grows and matures in the period between WWI and WWII. Was written somewhat recently (compared to Catcher in the Rye) but is historical fiction. Not sure if this fits precisely what you are looking for, but it is a great book.

A pretty good book about overcoming adversity and persisting is The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. I've read it probably 5 times. It's about a boy coming of age as an English kid in South Africa while also boxing. Great
