'A Human Being Died That Night: A South African Story of Forgiveness' by Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela

A Human Being Died That Night: A South African Story of Forgiveness, has been dubbed by some as Interviews with a Vampire. In fact it is a nuanced and clinical scrutiny of how and why an apparently ordinary man became murderer-in-chief for the brutal apartheid regime. It dwells on his atrocities - the torture, the ambushes, the executions, the exultation in inflicting suffering - and yet concludes that Eugene de Kock, otherwise known as Prime Evil and sentenced to 212 years for crimes against humanity, deserves to be forgiven.
