 | From the strong running currents of the Cunene River to the early morning dawn over Cassinga, this book told the story of a South African Special Forces officer's dedication to his cause.
The rivalry between Captain Tom MacLachlan and Timothy Shikongo, commander of SWAPO's Special Units, took the reader on a journey through the Angolan Bush War where no mercy was given or taken with the harsh reality of their destinies: kill or be killed.
When a female doctor was abducted b... |

 | | Hierdie digbundel is Dawid Lotter se derde. Soos sy vorige digbundels "Kleurskakarings van Skarlaken" en "Wondgom", handel "Die Möre Kom" oor die dienspligjare en oorlog in die algemeen. Die temas wissel van lighartig tot dodelike erns. Die eerste gevegte in Operasie Savannah (1975) word in al die felheid beskryf. Operasie Yahoo (1982) en die Swapo infiltrasie in "Die Driehoek van die Dood" word treffend herleef. Die slag van die Lomba op 3 Oktober 1987 ontvou van begin tot einde in 'n lang epie... |

 | The second volume narrates how Angola won her independence from Portugal in 1975, traces the course of the continuing conflict among revolutionary groups to its effectively final outcome, and ends as Angola gains worldwide recognition as a sovereign and (tenuously) unified nation.
This new volume fully meets the expectations aroused by its predecessor, with its scrupulous linking of events and evidence. Moreover, since the historical incidents leading to the denouement are intrins... |

 | | The first volume of this work, subtitled The Anatomy of an Explosion, 1950-1962, described the background and the first two years of the armed struggle for Angolan independence. It was published in 1969, and left its readers eagerly awaiting the sequel. Thus, a reviewer in the Journal of Modern African Studies wrote that "...this volume was a joy to read. Its contribution to a fuller understanding of Portuguese Africa is immense, especially in light of the meager literature in English. MIT Press... |

 | Voorwoord:
In 'n oorlogsituasie is 'n mens geneig om meer op die aard en die omvang van operasies te konsentreer. Die mens en sy omgewing waarbinne opgetree word speel egter 'n ewe belangrike rol. Die aanslag in SWA is 'n totale aanslag wat gemik is teen feitlik elke faset van die mens se lewe. Kennis van die leefwyses en tradisies van die mense van die land is van kardinale belang ten einde oor die nodige begrip en insig in enige gegewe situasie te beskik. Dit as sulks vorm die basis vir... |

 | | It took the former South African Defence Force (SADF) less than four hours to kill more than eight hundred Namibian refugees at Cassinga on May 4, 1978. Thousands of survivors were left with irreparable physical and emotional injuries. The unhealed trauma of Cassinga, a Namibian civilian camp in southern Angola before the massacre, is beyond the worst that the victims of the attack experienced on the ground. Unacceptable layers of pain and suffering continue to grow and multiply as the victims’ ... |

 | | Angola, a former Portuguese colony in southern central Africa, gained independence in 1975 and almost immediately plunged into more than two decades of conflict and crisis. Fidel Castro sent Cuban military troops to Angola in support of the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), leading to its ascension to power despite facing threats both international and domestic. What is less known, and what Cubans in Angola brings to light, is the significant role Cubans played in the transformat... |

 | | On the dawn of Namibia's independence from South African rule in 1990, around 43,000 exiles were repatriated to the country formerly known as South West Africa. Of these, many had left their country of birth to flee the brutality of South Africa's apartheid regime, and/or to join the struggle (political and armed) for Namibia's liberation, waged primarily by the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO). But included in the 43,000, were about 20,000 children who had never set foot in or fu... |

 | PUBLISHED BY THE MOZAMBIQUE ANGOLA COMMITTEE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP THE APARTHEID WAR ORGANISED BY THE ANTI-APARTHEID MOVEMENT - 1984
The apartheid state of South Africa - one of the world's most heavily militarised nations - is waging an undeclared war on Mozambique, its north-eastern neighbour.
This war is part of a pattern, a wider strategy aimed at subordinating all the less developed but politically independent countries of Southern Africa, and also a... |

 | Memórias dos cubanos sobre a guerra em Angola em livro
“Um lugar chamado Angola” de Karla Suárez retrata sequelas da guerra angolana em Cuba. O livro foi apresentado em Lisboa pelo escritor angolano Ondjaki, que prefere realçar os benefícios da presença cubana em Angola.
A participação de soldados cubanos no conflito armado em Angola teve impacto real na sociedade. Os horrores da guerra deixaram marcas indeléveis em Cuba, como confirma Karla Suárez no seu livro "Um lugar chamado Angola... |

He joined the National Union of South African Students (Nusas), and was on the frontline in the war against apartheid. At one march he was beaten up, arrested and spent a year on trial. Williamson rose up through the student movement’s ranks to become the Nusas vice president. After being harassed by security police and having his passport seized, he decided to flee the country to contin... |
