Shooting at Sharpeville: The Agony of South Africa

An important contemporary account of the 1960 Sharpeville massacre in South Africa, written by the then Bishop of Johannesburg, Ambrose Reeves, with a foreword by Chief Luthuli. This first edition details the tragic events and the broader context of apartheid.
