Abstract: The role of the military in South African politics is essentially unexplored when seen against the backdrop of the enormous output of literature on civil-military relations of recent years. Studies of South Africa have appropriated a good deal of scholarly energies as historians, sociologists and political scientists have applied their diverse skills to sewing together the past, present and future into some sort of reasonable understanding of the origins and consequences of apartheid society.
