The final 12 months of the war in Angola in which South Africa fought Cuba's revolutionary armed forces and Angola's Marxist Army, was conceivably the most important combat in the history of the African continent since the end of World War II. It was, however, also a secret war and only now, in this account of the fighting, are many of the wraps removed from the cloak-and-dagger Angolan operations.;The deep crises within South African and Cuban ranks are laid bare. There were disagreements between South African battle-front commanders and their politicians and generals as to how the war should be fought. The war is seen mainly through the eyes of ordinary soldiers who fought it, not those of generals and politicians hundreds of kilometres from the blood, sweat and dust.. Hard Cover.
