VICTORY OR VIOLENCE: THE STORY OF THE AWB OF SOUTH AFRICA
[Victory or Violence]
[[link removed]]
BY ARTHUR KEMP. THIRD EDITION. THE DRAMATIC STORY OF SOUTH
AFRICA’S AFRIKANER WEERSTANDSBEWEGING (AWB—AFRIKANER RESISTANCE
MOVEMENT) AND ITS CHARISMATIC LEADER EUGENE TERRE’BLANCHE.
At 10:10 AM on April 24, 1994, the largest terrorist bomb that ever
exploded in South African history, detonated in a car in central
Johannesburg.
The explosion threw the vehicle across the street and ripped a gaping
hole in the road. Several buildings were flattened in the attack,
aimed at the nearby African National Congress (ANC) headquarters. Ten
people were killed in the blast, including foreign journalists and one
ANC candidate in the upcoming elections.
The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB, or, in English, the Afrikaner
Resistance Movement) was responsible for the bombing, and the many
that followed.
So serious was the AWB’s campaign of violent resistance against
impending ANC rule, that the then government was forced to call out a
state of emergency in the many parts of the country, as ANC sabotage
squads targeted power networks railway lines, ANC and National Party
offices—and more—in a wave of attacks which made all the ANC’s
previous efforts at “armed resistance” pale into insignificance.
Read here of the early founding of the AWB, the backgrounds of its
leading characters, the increasing militancy which accompanied the
then government’s political reform program, the development of the
movement’s ideological basis, and finally, the turn to violent
resistance as the program to hand over control of the country to the
ANC speeded up.
No understanding of South Africa’s history is complete without this
largely eyewitness account of hardline Afrikaner resistance to the end
of white rule.
This third edition is updated to include the 2011 murder of Eugene
Terre’Blanche.
Illustrated throughout with many rare photographs, and fully indexed.
