For those who didn't know their corvettes from their counter-trade, this book's timing is deadly accurate. The Arms Deal's taint of corruption has hovered spectre-like over SA politics since Patricia de Lille's document hit parliament in 1999, but the plethora of newspaper articles, court cases, conspiracy theories and counter-allegations surrounding the deal still leaves many scratching their heads.

The Arms Deal in Your Pocket starts at the roots and works its way to the present, telling the story in the simplest way possible.
