Not sure what this is referring to in particular as I haven't read this book, but Augustine very clearly and thoroughly writes against Donatism in his Expositions on the Psalms

Yes this is mentioned in the book! The author later makes the point that 'Donatist' is a pejorative and would not have been used by the sect itself (fair enough) and that it was more 'African' in nature than the Catholic/Orthodox Church at the time (questionable).
