Product description

Review

One of the best books of the year ― The Economist

No one will tell us more about the struggle for the Afrikaner's soul; for this book, like the events it reports, is an act of redemption ― Daily Telegraph

Krog's account of the hearings, which recorded 20,000 statements from victims and nearly 8,000 applications for amnesty, is vivid and impassioned ― Mail on Sunday

Whatever it is that makes a major lasting work of non-fiction, it is here ― Observer

Her accounts are so powerful, her resilience, humour and compassion so engaging...to have written this book is heroic ― Sunday Times
