Includes bibliographical references (p. 469-494). This thesis is concerned with the militarization of white South African society in the 1960s. It argues that the military threat perceptions of the period were crucial in altering white views of the South African Defence Force (SADF) and reinforcing support for the National Party government. The military achieved enhanced public status within civil society as the state's supposed bulwark. A range of purported potential threats, both internal and external and regularly reported in the media, were investigated by the SADF in response to Afro-Asian bloc spokespersons calling for international military intervention against white South Africa to end apartheid. 2014-10-08T09:43:18Z 2014-10-08T09:43:18Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8258 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
