Description

This work is a study of civil-military relations in the Republic of South Africa while Pieter Willem Botha was prime minister (1978-89).

The author's controversial thesis is that Prime Minister Botha, recognizing that his country had reached the historical juncture when it needed to establish a new political order encompassing all of its diverse peoples, moved effectively to prepare the ground for fundamental constitutional change.

What was needed above all were stabilization measures to assure the support of the white population for reform.

Botha used the South African defence force as his primary instrument.

By 1989, Professor Roherty maintains, a striking degree of stabilization had been achieved within the country and throughout South Africa, and the groundwork for epochal change had been prepared.

The author makes use of exclusive interviews with South Africans from the political, military, intelligence, corporate, and academic worlds.
