The Assassin by Henk Van Woerden
Title: The Assassin – Story of Race & Rage in the Land of Apartheid
Genre: Non Fiction
Author: Henk Van Woerden
The heartbreaking account of one of the most sensational political assassinations in recent history. If ever one individual could be said to have embodied the tragedy of apartheid, Dimitri Tsafendas would be that man. Small Hardcover Published by Metropolitan Books 1998. Very Good Condition.
At a time in South African when color was all, Tsafendas, bastard son of a Greek father and African mother, was untouchable - too black for the whites and too white for the blacks. Stateless, homeless, and loveless on September 6, 1966 Tsafendas entered South Africa's parliament and stabbed Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd four times with a long knife, killing the architect of apartheid, the architect of his misery. The Assassin is powerful, tragic and compelling.
