Reviews

A book to welcome... it includes an account of the origins and demise of apartheid that must rank as the most sober, objective and comprehensive we have.

A stunning achievement.

Magisterial. The strength of the book lies in [Giliomee's] distillation of a lifetime's research and reflection into a single prodigious volume.-- "The Economist"

This crowning work by one of South Africa's most prominent social scientists is likely to become a baseline for interpreting Afrikaner history for a long time to come.-- "Foreign Affairs"
