In Verwoerd: Architect of Apartheid, Kenney interprets Verwoerd in the context of the Prime Minister's times and his own present, explaining the man and assessing his role in shaping South Africa's history. He examines the rationale behind the policy of apartheid and, after more than a decade since Verwoerd's assassination, he is able to distance himself from his subject and offer a balanced and objective insight into the workings of the apartheid system. What results is a fascinating study of a man who identified obsessively with the Afrikaner people, while aware that his foreign birth set him apart.
The new edition contains an introduction by David Welsh, Emeritus Professor at Stellenbosch University, bringing it into the 21st century and updating it for a new generation. This republication will satisfy an enduring interest in, and fascination with, the man responsible for decades of tyranny and oppression.
