Summary: Apartheid today arouses strong emotions. To understand South Africa's unique contribution to the political vocabulary of the world is to encounter a remarkable mentality and to follow a strange reversal of historical fortunes. G H Le May's lucid and balanced account shows how Britain's victory in the Boer War in 1902 failed to consolidate her influence in South Africa. Instead it confirmed the Afrikaner in his own narrow and beleaguered sense of national identity. His survival depended on gaining political power: the defeat of Smuts in the 1948 elections and South Africa's later withdrawal from the Commonwealth were historic moments - but already the enemy had changed. It was no longer the British who threatened by Black Africa.
