Jan Heunis reflects on the twilight years of white rule in South Africa
through incisive portraits of key individuals such as Frederik van Zyl
Slabbert, PW Botha, Hernus Kriel, Kobie Coetsee, Dennis Worrall and
Roelf Meyer, as well as accounts of events such as the Nkomati Accord,
PW Botha’s Rubicon speech and the CODESA negotiations. He reveals many
behind-the-scenes stories, and describes how the National Party was
eventually outmanoeuvred in negotiations with the ANC as South Africa
emerged from Nationalist rule.
