Description:
Exhaustively researched and fully illustrated with contemporary photographs and cartoons, Forty Lost Years is a multifaceted and subtle analysis of many aspects of South African politics since World War II. The author delves into the nature and functioning of the apartheid economy, the political role of big business and foreign governments, military strategy, the evolution of Afrikaner literature and the NP's changing relationship with the Afrikaner Broederbond. Underlying his complex and readable narrative is a concern both with the modes of explaining change and the dynamics of the transition process.
