4.9/5 (32159 ratings)

Description:Howarth’s book vividly describes the battle for control of the massive east Rand townships and their millions of black residents. As Howarth writes, there was ‘a real war’ going on in these black dormitory areas, but it lay outside the knowledge of most whites and remained largely unacknowledged by the Press. Yet, night after night, he and his patrolling riot unit saw homes and hostels set ablaze, tracer bullets arching across the sky, fierce clashes between ANC and IFP supporters, and sometimes the brutal massacre of unarmed innocents by antagonists on both sides.Howarth’s men – like the other riot units on patrol in these strife-torn townships – faced a continual barrage of attack as they picked their way past burning barricades and concealed pits dug in the roads to trap them in their casspirs (armoured vehicles). By the early 1990s, most of the attacks on the riot policemen came from the ANC’s ‘self-defence units’ (SDUs) which the organisation’s returned Umkhonto we Sizwe operatives had helped establish, arm, and man.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
