Van der Waals W. S. Portugal's War in Angola 1961-1974. Rivonia [South Africa]: Ashanti, 1993. Scarce First Edition. "This volume is a complete chronicle of Portugal's war in Angola from 1961 to 1974, and of the demise of the Portuguese empire. It is a popular version of the author's doctoral thesis which dissects the events leading up to the armed insurrection of 1961 and the subsequent uprisings by the various national liberation movements, and proceeds to examine the nature of the war that was to end where yet another conflict was merely to begin. The book describes the period until 25 April 1974, and provides a background for the analysis and comprehension of subsequent and present events in Angola. The nature and development of the war, with all its tragic repercussions, is also a case study in revolutionary warfare. It was ultimately to become a war attrition that Portugal could never win, despite her gradual ascendancy on the battlefield. As Portugal lost control over the process of decolonization, Angola was to be left to the icy machinations of the Cold War that had come to the region with a vengeance. At a time when Angola is once again a dark stain on the African continent, embroiled in renewed bloody civil war, this book should provide insight into that long-ago conflict in which the fathers of the Angolan and Portuguese youth fought, and show the pointlessness of the present bout of fighting" - mercenary-wars.net xviii, 296 p.: ill.

At the end of the Second World War some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi party escaped from justice. Some of them are names that have resonated deeply in twentieth-century history - Eichmann, Mengele, Martin Bormann and Klaus Barbie - not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence, holed up in the depths of Latin America, always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided and abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican, they travelled down secret 'rat lines', hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps, and were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic, with vengeful Holocaust survivors, inept politicians, and daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war, the attempts, sometimes successful, to bring them to justice, and what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters, former members of Mossad, travelled the 'rat lines', and poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic and vivid life.

This book is very much of its time. Written when the doomsday projectionists of the 1970s liked to imagine the very worse of the Cold War in the coming decade. And from their time scape of the late 70s and even in the opening years of the 1980s, it did seem that much of their worse expectations could be realised. This book is not as polished as Hackett's 'The Third World War' though it does come as a nice package which offers a similar though different vein as the more famous projectionist book. Written before Clancy and Coyle imagined their own mid 1980s crossing of the Fulda Gap by the Soviet hoards, this book at times could seem dull and dry in contrast to a 'Team Yankee' or 'Red Storm Rising'. They are different types of books though if you enjoyed them, then this book would be an interesting and sobering read. It is in many ways a serious imagining of the potentials for the then new technologies and the futurist predictions of what the fall out would be should a total war emerge between two vast Empires and their proxies. Like many books of this nature it is grim and cold, it gives you no heroes or narrative and simply paints the future as though it is a coming history. A good read if you are a fan of this genre. An especially good read if you could go back to 1978 and see the World through the eyes of many did then. I have many books on sale, please check my listings. I am happy to combine and save postage for you.

Superior firepower eventually crushed the offensive, but it proved to be a major psychological victory for the communists - a turning point in the Vietnam War. Anthony Tucker-Jones, in this photographic history of Tet - and of American involvement in the struggle against the forces of the Viet Cong and the regular North Vietnamese army - uses over 180 contemporary images, colour and black and white, to show all sides of the conflict and to reassess a defining moment in the protracted and bitter campaign against communism in South-East Asia. The images record in vivid detail the conditions and the nature of the fighting, in particular the battles for Hue, Khe Sanh and Saigon, and the equipment and the weaponry that was used. They show the impact of the fighting on the civilian population in the countryside and cities as they became battlegrounds. And they illustrate why the US public was so shocked by the capability of the communists to launch such an all-encompassing assault that many lost faith in America's commitment to the South.
