This year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr Hendrik Verwoerd by Dimitri Tsafendas. Originally released in 1980, Henry Kenney’s incisive study of the architect of apartheid and paragon of Afrikaner nationalism will be republished in 2016 to coincide with this significant moment in South Africa’s modern history.

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.

This book has increased my knowledge and about the history of our country and how the prime minister Verwoerd managed and structured the country.

Tue, 4 Oct 2022 | Review by: Larry N.

I am a keen history student , so the history of our country is of outmost importance , Hendrik Verwoerd is a prominent figure in the history of our country , His policies have structured South Africa till to this day , He was a sociologist so he preferred using the scientific method to structure society in a way he thought it will be efficient and stable. buts as history bare testimony that didnt happen. this book allow me to delve into the character of this prominent stateman of our country , and understand what inspired him to initiate and maintain Apartheid. it is a wonderful book i am enjoying it . Thank you LOOT.
