"The Rivonia Trial, held in South Africa in the early 1960s, revealed a sinister plot by communist-inspired conspirators whose objectives were the overthrow of the South African government by means of violence, guerilla warfare and bloody revolution. In any communist country they would have faced a firing squad at early dawn, In South Africa they were tried by a Court with a tradition of independence and scrupulous fairness. The author of this book was a distinguished jurist who unfolds the story of the Rivonia Trial in such a calm and objective manner that even the most biased and uninformed reader would, after having read it, ponder with a sense of responsibility, over the diabolic conspiracy which was planned in minute detail against an orderly anti-communist State. The Rivonia Trial was recorded as the most sensational case in the Criminal Court annals of South Africa." Small book,120 pages, b.w photos.
