Verwoerd architect apartheid

Jonathan Ball Publishers, 1980. Hard cover with dust cover; 278 pages. Very good condition. Piece of front endpaper has been clipped. Under 1kg.   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.

Christopher Hope, prize-winning author and renowned journalist, was six years old when he met his first dictator.  It was Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, friendly neighbour and architect of the brutal apartheid regime of South Africa.  Since then he has observed the cruelties and absurdities of tyranny in many places and among many peoples, most recently in the repeating patterns of repression instigated by Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Brothers Under The Skin is an impassioned reflection on the all too familiar traits of tyranny: its wild paranoia, its murderous conviction of righteousness, and its inability to concede power, however small.  From Milosovic's Serbia to the killing fields of Matabeleland, Christopher Hope reveals the vainglorious essence of tyranny as being essentially the same, regardless of race, nation or ideology it claims to embody.  Bringing his unique experience and dazzling prose style to bear on the subject, he has produced a disturbing, yet amusing text that reveals the tragic absurdity of one man's lust for power. Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover is scuffed and creased in places.  279 pages.
