		De Klerk rather skates over his time during this period, in which the South African Defence Force (by now "the most powerful military force in Africa", with its own nuclear capability) and police were busy eliminating "revolutionary elements" and destabilising the country's neighbours.
		FW de Klerk was never likely to be treated kindly by history, which is why he was obliged to write his own account of how he abolished apartheid.
		FW de Klerk's autobiography describes his stormy relationship with a 'vicious' Nelson Mandela, and calls PW Botha a 'bombastic bully'.

		De Klerk, after all, could hardly be expected to thrill his readers with an account of a life-and-death wrestling match in a swamp with a buffalo.
		De Klerk recounts, with no apparent regret, how he seemingly delivered the coup de grâce by telling his political mentor that he should go "for his own sake and for the sake of the country".
		De Klerk is savage in his portrayal of his predecessor, PW Botha, a man whom he describes as a "bombastic bully" who ran an "imperial" style of government, surrounding himself with 500 personal staff and cutting himself off from reality.

		In The Man In His Times, a biography of his brother, Willem de Klerk describes FW de Klerk as a politician with a conservative image, a perception that he was over-cautious and inclined to be all things to all men.
		It is clear from his autobiography that De Klerk was raised in a conservative milieu in which he was weaned on tales of the Voortrekker Piet Retief and the Zulu war and the Boers' struggle against the British.
		De Klerk gives the reader to understand that he had always played a role in relaxing legislation.

	De Klerk 'lied to cover up human rights abuses' \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The reputation of FW de Klerk, the former South African president who shared a Nobel peace prize with Nelson Mandela for ending apartheid, was battered yesterday when the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) found that he had failed to make "full disclosure" when testifying about human rights violations.
		Mr de Klerk initially insisted to the commission that he was ignorant of state-sanctioned terrorism, including the 1988 bombing of the South African Council of Churches' headquarters in Johannesburg.
		The commission wanted to publish a much harsher finding in a 1998 report but Mr de Klerk blocked it with a high court ruling, claiming that the TRC was biased, and his lawyers negotiated the diluted version published yesterday.
