This excellent publication provides much thought-provoking material
as well as an invaluable bibliography on the war 'up north' and 'on
the border (and beyond)', enabling those on all sides who took part
in the conflict, as well as those who watched from the side-lines,
to take stock of the most devastating conflict in southern Africa
in recent years.Professor André WesselsDepartment of History,
University of the Free State
This book is a solid work on the Angolan War seen from different
points of view - the former Soviet Union (Russia), East Germany
(the DDR) and the Republic of Cuba among others - against the
background of the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO)
and the Angolan struggle for independence. The work contributes to
the understanding of the present-day realities in the countries
that were involved in the fierce political strife of the time. It
offers striking if not controversial interpretations to past events
that (perhaps disconcertingly) broadens our understanding of the
present.Dr Mihail E Ionescu (Gen. retired)Institute for Political
Studies of Defense and Military History, Bucharest
