SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book charts the evolution of U.S. foreign policy towards South Africa during the apartheid era, beginning in 1948 and extending through the 1994 elections and the establishment of the country's first non-racial democratic government. Thomson highlights three sets of conflicting Western interests: strategic, economic, and human rights.--Publisher description.
