Revelations

This is the third in a three-volume series about the Ruatoria Rastafarians. The Rastas terrorised the small town of Ruatoria on the East Coast of New Zealand's North Island from 1985 to 1990. During this time more than thirty buildings, including houses, businesses, the police and fire stations, a primary school, churches and a marae, were burned. One Rasta was beheaded by another and the leader of the sect was shot and later died on the operating table. Revelations covers the latter years of the Rastas' reign of terror and the fatal clash between Rasta leader Chris Campbell and vigilante Luke Donnelly.
