The Truth Commission and its Burdens: Perpetrator findings and their consequences

This is the second and concluding volume of a study of the amnesty negotiations during the South African transition to democracy, and the consequent activities and legacy of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The first volume, titled AMNESTY CHRONICLES: The inner history of the amnesty negotiations during the South African transition and the origins of the TRC’s amnesty process, appeared in 2022, and was widely acclaimed by academics and others in South Africa and abroad. Taken together, they are certain to become standard works on the background to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, its activities and its legacy.
