xlv + 375pp., maps, light foxing, ownership stamp on f.f.e.p., hardback, African Historical Dictionaries No. 78, second edition, Lanham, (1999) 2000
"This is a revised and expanded version of the Historical Dictionary of South Africa published in 1983. The first edition was dedicated 'to the hope that within the near furutre apartheid will be merely a subject for historians to study.' Happily that is now the case, though apartheid's baneful legacy will long remain." Taken from the book.
