The Lion and the Springbok presents an account of the dynamics and
divergences of the 'uneasy special relationship' of Britain and
South Africa. From the bruising experience of the South African War
(1899-1902) to South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth in
1961, the authors chart this relationship in all its political,
economic, cultural and geostrategic aspects. All the major disputes
are discussed including the struggle for the High Commission
Territories, the crisis over Seretse Khama's marriage and the
transfer of the Simon's Town naval base. These issues trace, for
the most part, a continuing deterioration in relations, as
Afrikaner nationalist identity hardened and South African politics
slid into the extremes of apartheid. The perceptions each side had
of the other after 1948 are examined through representations in the
media, and an epilogue considers the reasons for the return of the
'New South Africa' to the Commonwealth in 1994.
