Abstract

An invaluable testimonial of the excesses of the apartheid system, this volume presents the harrowing chronicle of journalist Ruth First (1925-1982)'sĀ isolation and abuse at the hands of South African interrogators after her arrest in 1963. Upon her arrest, she was detained in solitary confinement under South Africa's notorious ninety-day detention law. This is the story of the war of nerves that ensued between First and her Special Branch captors.
