Into the Heart of the Whore: The Story of Apartheid’s Death Squads

Description

The ongoing assassinations of anti-apartheid activists led to rumours that some roughly third force will have to be responsible. The South African government flatly denied any involvement. All investigations of the matter were met with stony silence.

The first crack in the wall came with the publication by the Vrye Weekblad newspaper of the odd story of Dirk Coetzee, former Security Branch Captain. His tale of murder, kidnapping, bombing and poisoning provided corroboration of the shocking confessions made by Almond Nofemela on death row. Slowly the dark secret began unravelling under the probing of decided journalists. In the Heart of the Whore introduces the reader to the name of the game underworld of the death squads. It explains when and why they were created, who ran them, what methods they employed, who the sufferers and perpetrators were.

Jacques Pauw used to be more closely involved with the subject than any other person out of doors the police and armed forces. In this groundbreaking work he looks at the devastating effect of the name of the game war on the opponents of apartheid in addition to the corrosive effects on the people who committed these crimes.
