JBM Hertzog, autobiography (1948). Afrikaans edition, 2nd printing. by C M Van Den Heever.

JBM Hertzog, a Boer general during the Second Boer War who served as the third prime minister of the Union of South Africa from 1924 to 1939. Hertzog advocated for the development of Afrikaner culture and was determined to prevent Afrikaners from being excessively influenced by British culture. 

Together with Smuts, they laid the groundwork for apartheid through a series of legislative acts that entrenched racial segregation - particularly with the Natives Land Act of 1913, and the 

Natives Urban Areas Act of 1923. 

A fascinating in-depth historical analysis of a truly great South African, he lived for the people and his beloved Afrikaans culture.
