   Gripande

   Krogs vittnesmål från TRCs möten i Sydafrika är både gripande och skrämmande. Vissa delar av boken får håren att ställa sig upp på armarna. Jag har själv studerat de bandade mötena och kan bara instämma med det Krog skriver och samtidigt fundera över hur mycket försoning som egentligen kom ur mötena.
