Did white South Africa crack, or did its leadership yield sufficiently and just in time to avert a revolution?

Richard Steyn, die skrywer van Jan Smuts: Afrikaner sonder grense, bestudeer dié hegte vriendskap deur twee wêreldoorloë aan die hand van ’n magdom argiefstukke, briewe, telegramme en die omvangryke boeke wat oor albei mans geskryf is.
Ook beskikbaar in Engels as Churchill & Smuts: The Friendship
