 A Long night's Damage - Eugene de Kock as told to Jeremy Gordin - Contra - 1998, first edition - 332pp, Paperback in very good condition

On April 30 1993 Colonel Eugene Alaxander 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 trail, 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 justifies their ends.

 But+ Colonel De Kock is not going to lie down ans say nothing. This book lays out in great detail the corruption and moral decadence that pervaded the SA Defence Force and the Police. There are many whose crimes against humanity were just as terrible as his own, and De Kock now tells his story: the one that the politicians and generals have been hoping would never appear.
