Reckoning with South Africa’s white supremacist threat

South Africa’s democratic story has never lacked drama but few chapters are as unsettling or as under-told as the Boeremag saga.

In The High Treason Club: The Boeremag On Trial, journalist-turned-author Karin Mitchell excavates this dark, disquieting moment with the precision and passion of a reporter and the narrative instinct of a storyteller determined to ensure that history does not slip quietly into the archives.

Mitchell’s 352-page account is more than a reconstruction of a treason trial.
