On September 6, 1966, Dimitri Tsafendas entered South Africa's parliament, gripping a wickedly long knife, and stabbed Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd four times in the chest. This chilling study of the life of Tsafendas―the homeless, stateless, and loveless illegitimate son of a Greek father and a black African mother―gives us acrystalline vision of the tragic consequences of apartheid.
