The Other Side of the Story - A True Perspective

Compiled by Maj Gen HD Stadler

  "Guerrillas", "Freedom Fighters", or " Terrorists"?

Irrespective what those responsible for the atrocities in South Africa were called; in the final analysis it was the reality of a warlike situation which dictated the counter measures to be taken.

The South African Police as the main law enforcement agency had the task of maintaining LAW AND ORDER in an atmosphere, where the opposing sides only paid lip service to the international accepted protocols and conventions. Queensbury rules had been thrown over board and nobody knew where the next mine, grenade, bomb or bullet would be delivered.

Then came the new South Africa and it hit the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The attackers became the heroes and those who's duty it was to SERVE and PROTECT the villains.

It is against this background that the author, who is known for his expertise and objectivity endeavours, in a concise manner, to put into perspective the other side of the story.

The purpose is not to justify either the means or the ends, but rather for the thinking people in society to judge for themselves.

Soft Cover, 198 pages, illustrated - many pics in colour.

Some of the pictures are not for the feint hearted.....victims of land mines, car bombs etc.
