' This book is a grim exciting piece of historical phantasy - the story of a mythical Republic formed by the Nationalists in 1966. Written as a challange to the "irresponsible optimism about the future" of South Africa, we are warned that " salvation of the country can only lie in a reveral of historical tendencies". Politically minded readers will be provoked and stimulated by this book; to the masses of neutrals who are "not interested in politics" it constitutes a political education.'
