ISBN: 9781431409754 / 1431409758 - Askari: A Story of Collaboration and Betrayal in the Anti-apartheid Struggle by Jacob Dlamini. Published by Jacana Media, 2015. Softcover. Used, Very Good condition. 307 pp.

Askari seeks to understand why ‘Comrade September’, a charismatic ANC operative and popular MK commander, made the choices he did - collaborating with his captors, turning against the ANC, and then hunting down his comrades - without excusing those choices. It looks beyond the black-and-white that still dominates South Africa’s political canvas, to examine the grey zones in which South Africans - combatants and non-combatants - lived.
