Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd (1958–1966) is widely regarded as
the mastermind of apartheid in South Africa. This study examines how
he developed the ideology of racial separation into a comprehensive

Verwoerd less a defense of colonialism but a policy for the future, he
was an authoritarian modernizer and a true representative of the Age
of Extremes.
