A FAR-AWAY WAR: ANGOLA 1975-1989 IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa's armed forces invaded Angola in 1975, setting off a war that had consequences for the whole region that are still felt today. A Far-Away War  contributes to a wider understanding of this war in Angola and Namibia. The book does not only look at the war from an "old" South African (Defence Force) perspective, but also gives a voice to participants on the other side emphasising the role of the Cubans and Russians. This focus is supplemented by the inclusion of many never-before-published photographs from Cuban and Russian archives, and a comprehensive bibliography. Published: February 2016. Softcover, 208 pages. Editors:  Ian Liebenberg, Jorge Risquet, Vladimir Shubin
