Synopsis & Historical Value
Published in 2009, Nico Smith's Die Broederbond offers a fascinating, inside look at the inner workings of the Afrikaner Broederbond—the infamous secret society that shaped the political landscape of South Africa for decades. Smith, a former member who famously broke away from the organization due to moral convictions, provides an invaluable eyewitness chronicle of how the group influenced religious, economic, and governmental sectors. This used collectible book is scarce and essential for readers analyzing secret societies and South African political structures.
Author Profile: Nico Smith
Dr. Nico Smith (1929–2010) was a prominent Afrikaner theologian, minister, and anti-apartheid activist. His brave decision to resign from both the elite Broederbond and his prestigious university position to live and minister in black townships made him a highly influential figure in South Africa's ecclesiastical history.
