Hermann Giliomee, Professor of History at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, is the editor or author of thirteen books, including Negotiating South Africa's Future, Awkward Embrace: One-Party Domination and Democracy in Industrialising Countries, From Apartheid to Nation-Building, and The Shaping of South African Society. In 1984 he founded Die Suid-Afrikaan, an Afrikaans journal of opinion, and he has been a regular columnist for the Cape Times, Rand Daily Mail, and other periodicals.
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"
