An analysis of political developments in Sri Lanka from about 1977 to 1990

In graphical form the author takes the reader into various areas in the Sri Lankan political arena to illustrate how a rigged Referendum in 1982 subverted the Constitution and extended the 5/6th majority Parliament life by further six years; proscribed three legally recognized political parties and paved the way to the present on-going crisis.

It also deals with how the State death squads, protected by Indemnity Acts 1982 & 1988, notorious Emergency Regulations 55FF and directed by Deputy Inspector General of Police, indulged in a killing spree.

Exposes the ' Doctor of terror', where the State paid Rs.25000 (£250) per decapitated head of a rebel youth produced before the PRRA hired killers.

Hair raising & gruesome stories on thousands of unidentified dead bodies which floated down the rivers, rotted in streets, burnt under old tyres & cadavers eaten by stray dogs.

How the PRRAs, Black Cats, Green Tigers, DJVees killed with impunity.

A story behind a Prime Minister back-stabbing the President (who slyly conspired with the Opposition to undercut his Prime-Minister to dissolve Parliament) and usurped the Presidential nomination.

How the JVP lost two opportunities to share ministerial power in JR Jayawardene's Cabinet and were taken for a ride by Prime Minister Premadasa.

Manipulation of the JVP/DJV by a Prime Minister to do his bidding to win the 1988 elections.
