Subtitle: The Inside Story of the Delmas Four Author: Peter Harris With Author's Inscription Publisher: Struik () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Slight lifting of laminate along cover corners and edges, otherwise in very good condition. Binding: Softcover Pages: 320 Dimensions: 22 x 14.5 x 2.5 cm +++ by Peter Harris (With Author's Inscription) +++ This book tells the story of four young South Africans who embark on a mission that will ultimately take them to Death Row. They are a highly trained and experienced assassination squad reporting directly to Chris Hani. The narrative details their infiltration into the country, their operations, arrest and subsequent trial.  As their trial unfolds with their attorney fighting to save them from the gallows, so too does the story of their own lives and the choices they made. The story is set in a South Africa gripped by unrest and political tension, when the ANC was in exile and repression at its height. It tells of the extraordinary lengths people go to in order to fight for what they believe, and the acts people will commit to preserve the status quo.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
