Notes

1 See for instance Graham Evans, ‘The Great Simplifier: The Cold War and South Africa, 1948–1994,’ in Deconstructing and Reconstructing the Cold War, ed. Alan P. Dobson (1999), 135–51.

2 This approach is more clearly articulated in Miller’s ‘Rethinking the Cold War: Reflections from an African Volk,’ https://stilloutinthecold.net/rethinking-cold-war-reflections-african-volk-jamie-miller.

3 The only full-length study is Gail-Maryse Cockram, Vorster’s Foreign Policy (Pretoria: Academic, 1970), which comprised articles published by the government mouthpiece the South Africa Foundation. Miller does not cite it in his bibliography.

4 See Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses and Robert McNamara, ‘The Origins of Exercise ALCORA, 1960–1971,’ International History Review 35, no. 5 (2013): 1113–34 and ‘Exercise ALCOA 1971–74: Expansion and Demise,’ International History Review 36, no. 1 (2014): 89–111. These articles appear to have escaped Miller’s attention.
