In 1948 the Dutch Reformed minister D.F. Malan led the National Party to victory and set up the policy of apartheid. Today grimfaced photographs of NP leaders like Malan and his successors have come to symbolise a system of racial oppression.
Yet, when Malan was asked on his deathbed what he considered the most important service he had rendered during his political career, he answered, 'that I could serve my nation; that I could unite my people'. This biography tries to understand this contradiction: how a man who earnestly sought to build a nation could also contribute to a legacy that continues to scar a country.
Malan's personal and political life developed against the backdrop of the rise in Afrikaner nationalism in the years following the South African War. To understand Malan the man is also to understand the people who elected him as their leader.

Viis, kuidas Tregaroni hertsog vaatas Larentiat, pani neiu tundma, nagu oleks mees ta petuskeemist labi nainud ning et ta teadis, et naine pole ei naitlejanna ega abielus.Hirmunud ja segaduses Larential on ees meeleheitele ajav valik. Kas ta jatkab valetamist, et paasta kaks vaga erinevat inimest – oma vanaldane isa, kuningas Arturi legendide uurija, ja Gaiety teatri tantsutudruk Katie King – piinarikkast surmast? Kas temast saab toesti valjapressija? Teekond Garonite lossi viis Larentia tagasi Camelot’sse, kuid tal tuli uletada palju takistusi, enne kui legendides kujutatud armastus leidis hertsogi kuumades suudlustes tema jaoks toelise elu.
