A Far-Away War

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.
