Malan: Die Eerste Veertig Jaar (The Life of D.F. Malan: The First Forty Years) was published by Tafelberg-Uitgewers in 1969. It follows Daniel François Malan through the decades of his life before he entered politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalan later became the first Afrikaner nationalist prime minister of the Union, serving from 1948 to 1954, and was a founder of Afrikaner nationalist parties whose government implemented many of South Africa's apartheid policies. This volume gives the background to the man before that career began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is still cited as one of the two principal Malan biographies, alongside H.B. Thom's DF Malan of 1980, which takes up the story from 1925. One historian judged it thoroughly researched, while noting that the author's sympathy for his subject colours the treatment. It remains a useful source for students of Afrikaner nationalism and a worthwhile addition to a collection of Afrikaner political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Prof. dr.
