“In A Different Time: The Inside Story of the Delmas Four” is the name of the book written by South African lawyer Peter Harris and is the true story about the “Delmas Four” and it a must read for South Africans and foreigners alike.
The book is a true account of events in the 1970s and ’80s: it tells the story of four young men who left the country to undergo training as members of umKhonto we Sizwe, the ANC’s armed wing, after the Soweto riots of June 1976.
Harris said the following at the launch of this book: “When I was writing this book I was fortunate to have access to this story. The so-called ‘Delmas Four’ came back to South Africa as hardened soldiers, but were soon incarcerated and facing the death sentence. Their trial was a sinister conspiracy against them. This is a fascinating story and a sad story. Whether I wrote it well enough I will leave that to you,” he said. “This book documents recent, although forgotten times - and it gives a tribute to those who died during the struggle.”
Written with the compulsion of a thriller, this extraordinary, true story of an MK hit squad fighting a guerrilla war in the 1980s will have readers turning the pages through to the unexpected gut-wrenching twist at the end.
