Book excerpt: "On April 30 1993 Colonel Eugene Alexander de Kock was discharged from the South African Police ahead of further investigations into his activities as head of section C1 at the notorious Vlakplaas farm north of Pretoria. By that time the National Party was on a massive damage control campaign. Many generals as well as De Kock were among its scapegoats. As it transpired at his trial, De Kock was the government's assassin-in-chief. But he was not an out-of-control policeman, he was an officer taking orders. In this book he names the men who gave him orders, what they told him to do, and for what reason. He lifts the curtain on a heinous period of history when the mad architects of apartheid thought that any means justified their ends".--BOOKJACKET.
