Story Behind The Book

It took me 4 years from first hearing about the true story behind the abuse of young conscripts in the South African Defence Force. Many of the perpetrators of these abuses never faced any charges and some still live and practice medicine in the free world today while their victims live tortured lives with no hope of justice prevailing. This novel is work of fiction but is inspired by actual events that took place in South Africa during the 1970's and 1980's
