A History of South Africa, Fourth Edition
English version: A Time Traveller's Guide to South Africa in 2030
Internationally-renowned historian Hermann Giliomee has himself been intimately involved in the unfolding drama of South Africa’s history, as participant at the Dakar talks with the ANC, as outspoken commentator for the English press, and as leading thinker on the Afrikaners. Giliomee’s lucidity and original insights make this more than just his own story. It is also a gripping narrative, filled with anecdotes and revealing inner workings of the Afrikaner establishment.
Afrikaanse weergawe: Hermann Giliomee: Historikus: 'n Outobiografie. 
Gerespekteerde historikus Hermann Giliomee volg die weë van vyf invloedryke Afrikanerleiers: Hendrik Verwoerd, John Vorster, PW Botha, Frederik van Zyl Slabbert en FW de Klerk. Hy probeer om nie te verdoem nie (want verdoem is maklik) maar om te verklaar. Hoe het intelligente, gerespekteerde leiers vir soveel jaar so 'n onderdrukkende stelsel kon handhaaf? Rolspelers in die apartheids-regering het vir die eerste keer inligting gedeel vir hierdie boek. Dit gee dus totaal nuwe insigte op die binnewerkinge van die regering tydens apartheid.
English version: The Last Afrikaner Leaders: A Supreme Test of Power. 
Wie was die eerste mense van Suid-Afrika? En wie het daarna gekom? Hoe het die interaksie tussen Afrikaners, die Britse regering en swart mense die land help vorm? Waar staan ons vandag as 'n nasie? In hierdie boek span gerekende Suid-Afrikaanse historici saam om hierdie en ander vrae oor ons verlede te beantwoord. Onder leiding van die bekende prof. Fransjohan Pretorius gaan hulle terug na die oorsprong van die aarde en beweeg daarna deur die kernmomente in die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis. Die skrywers bied 'n gebalanseerde blik op waar ons vandaan kom en gee onder meer ook erkenning aan Afrikaners se rol in die land se ontwikkeling.
