Description
FOREWORD:
“South Africa and the world at large confronts a series of polycrises, the details of which are drip-fed to us through a daily dose of catastrophe, mismanagement, and poor governance.
This book offers a glimpse into the possibility of producing excellent outcomes if we care to be thoughtful, committed and strategic. Africa has written a book on the successful intelligence operation that neutralised the threat of Paga’s urban terrorism, allowing us to imagine police and intelligence services known for the efficiency and innovation that existed at the time.”
Ayanda Dlodlo – Former Minister of State Security
REVIEWS:
“Lives on the Line is a gripping espionage thriller where trust is a gamble, and the price of failure could be death. Africa has no doubt provided us with a long overdue text.”
IMRAAN BUCCUS: Editor – Al Qalam.
“This book provides an insider account of how an intelligence-led policing effort to manage urban terrorism in South Africa met with success.”
GRAEME P.HERD: George C.Marshall European Centre for Security Studies ( GCMC), Germany.
“The defeat of Pagad stands out as one of the most dramatic intelligence achievements in the democratic era.”
