A Far-Away War: Angola, 1975-1989

By Ian Liebenberg, Vladimir Shubin, Jorge Risquet

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.
