During his visit to London in July 2012 for the official launch of the book and other events, Ronnie Kasrils took some of the Recruits on a guided walk through the parts of central London where he had taken many of them from 1967 onwards. In this video, he reveals some of the tricks he used to ensure that they could not afterwards remember where he had taken them.

Lively discussion with a large audience at the Marxism 2012 Festival, organised by the Socialist Workers' Party, London, 5 July 2012. Speakers: Ronnie Kasrils, John Rose, Bob Newland, George Paizis, Joy Leman (a Recruit only discovered after the book was published), Graeme Whyte, Bob Allen and numerous members of the audience. Ken Keable writes,"I was prevented from attending this terrific event by serious flooding in Somerset, where I live. It is a pity, in my opinion, that no-one challenged the use of the word "Stalinist" at this meeting, when I am confident that none of the speakers would describe themselves with that term."
