This book will chart the evolution of US foreign policy towards South Africa, beginning in 1948 when the architects of apartheid, the Nationalist Party, came to power. The study will extend through the holding of the 1994 elections, when the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) formed this country's first non-racial democratic government. Dr. Thomson highlights three sets of conflicting Western interests: strategic, economic and human rights. This is a chronological survey of successive administrations, charting how US policy towards apartheid in South Africa reached a damaging watershed.
