Da autoria de Bernardo Teixeira, este livro aborda o terror que se registou em Angola em Março de 1961, quando os guerrilheiros da UPA, liderados por Holden Roberto, atacaram o norte daquela antiga província ultramarina portuguesa e provocaram milhares de mortos entre a população civil - brancos e negros, mulheres e crianças, velhos e novos.

"Terror knows no geography. It is timeless and it belongs to every man. It may be a private terror or it may strike a family, a town, a nation. But whatever its form the fabric does not change. That is why this book speaks for all men who will one day look into the face of terror, as the author tells of what happened in a small corner of Angola, in West Africa. It all began on the misty morning of March 15, 1961. The place was Quitexe, a slumbrous Angolan village. As the church bells tolled eight o'clock the massacre began. Bands of terrorists disguised as early shoppers had the little town at their mercy. According to the village butcher, who with his wife and daughter were the sold survivors, 'all of a sudden it is like a hurricane in hell. . . the screams became fewer and fewer because the dead do not complain anymore.' . . . The Fabric of Terror contains a foreboding message of what can happen - indeed, what is happening right now - when ruthless forces incite primitive and superstitious African tribes to hatred and violence. It is a message urging the free world take care."
