D.F. Malan and the rise of Afrikaner nationalism

Bok av Lindie Koorts
The book introduces the reader to Malan the man: the shy, bookish young boy, the distracted intellectual who once left home with his slippers on, the uncertain lover and the thinker who spent hours preparing his speeches, first for church sermons and then for parliamentary debates. This biography tries to understand a dichotomy: how a man who earnestly sought to unite and to protect a people could also contribute to a legacy that continues to scar a country.
