As a former director of Gun Free South Africa (GFSA), Kirsten (Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation) relates the story of how this low-resource non-governmental organization succeeded in getting a new Firearms Control Act (2000) implemented that reduced guns in circulation and firearm-related deaths in the country during a difficult transition period. The book includes images from its media campaign, GFSA resources, its Charter for Gun Control, policy guidelines, and information on creating gun-free zones. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
