Apartheid's Last Stand is an original study which sets out to
demonstrate how and why the apartheid state was neither able to
maintain white dominance of the political system nor capable of
reforming itself. The book's central argument is that the South
African government consciously developed and introduced a programme
of limited reforms in accordance with the guiding principles of
counter-revolutionary strategy and the so-called 'liberal' vision
of apartheid. Rejected by the majority of South Africans, President
P.W. Botha nonetheless doggedly pursued state-managed reform
through the imposition of stringent security measures to combat
dissent at home and isolation abroad. The ensuing stalemate between
South African government and the forces of revolution was only
overcome with the ousting of military influence in South Africa and
the ending of the Cold War. These circumstances laid the foundation
for the reconciliation between Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk,
giving birth to a new democratic South Africa.
