Product Description
Product Description
In 1993, F.W. de Clerk admitted to the world that South Africa's apartheid regime had secretly built six atom bombs, pledging however that all had been destroyed. Revealing evidence to the contrary, the authors suggest that the world has been deceived, creating a nuclear nightmare for Mandela.

Considering what is KNOWN to have happened since these two guys put this book together it cannot be dismissed as in the category of fiction. The sheer number of journalists who have been killed, or `conveniently` committed suicide, cannot be dismissed lightly. Not just in the realms of South Africa, and known associates. One can look no further than the United Kingdom to be seriously disturbed. Similar patterns are on record, ranging with the elimination of journalists, intelligence agents, engineers, and even a member of Parliament! Check out James Rusbridger for starters, and then follow up the demise of an MP who is alleged to have killed himself by a solo sexual game, identical in pattern to Rusbridger`s death. Then check out the agent/journalist who upset the thugs in Chile - and finished up in a hotel wardrobe. This book is dynamite, and highlights the constant threat of small nuclear weapons that may be used against us by unscrupulous groups. I am old enough to have witnessed the V2 doodlebug postmarked from Adolf Hitler, and I have never forgotten a book I read as a small boy, written by the eminent Professor Lowe. (A work of fiction that foretold masses of pilotless gliders carrying deadly loads of bombs to be discharged over England) I recommend anyone with a strong heart to read both books, if available, and then write to your MP - what else can you do! The authors appear to have gone to ground, which is not surprising when you witness such number of Mossad agents on TV flashing their UK passports, no doubt obtained from their Golders Green contacts? No, please do not judge me by that remark. I was seeking to add a little comedy, or pathos, to the overall picture.

Intresting and easy to read about SA nuclear program. The book leaves you with many doubts since other sources are scarce. The book is built on indeces and not on real proof, so it is difficult to say what is the truth and what is fiction, but if only 5% is truth then it is hair rasing.

Not just an entertaining book.
24 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
This book adds materially to the stock of information on the subject of Red Mercury, something that few publications succeed in doing. See, in this respect, the list of Russian export documents and their associated authorisations on pages 288 to 290. Unfortunately, the headings include 'Volume in Kg.' but, in such an (otherwise) informative account, it is easy to overlook such blemishes. The footnote reference to Dr. Arthur Sleight's report on his synthesis of the Red Mercury base compound, mercuric pyro-antimoniate, which appeared in the Journal of Inorganic Chemistry (volume 7, no.9) has an importance completely out of proportion to the space allocated to it in the thriller, but no other document dealing with the subject cared to mention it at that time (1995). The report was responsible for the key compound acquiring a number in the International Chemical Register: 20720-76-7. The book is unique in drawing attention to the activities of Thor Chemicals' South African branch and there are sufficient scandals exposed in its pages to provide material for several documentaries and many more books.
