""Bring Me My Machine Gun", layered with anecdote, historical background and close scrutiny of recent events, stands as an informative, nuanced, and provocative end-of-era report.... A valuable contribution to the debate about the future of the rainbow nation.

"Washington Post"
"Sweeping, up-to-date.... Russell offers an acute look at the remarkable period when apartheid unraveled and a new political system under the African National Congress (ANC) took shape.... A compelling, bracing chronicle of the 15-year campaign to make the promise of 1994 a reality."
Peter Godwin, author of When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
"A vivid portrait of post-apartheid South Africa, briskly depicting the dramas of a young nation and the telling threats to its future."
