 | It took twenty-three years of armed struggle before Namibia could gain its independence from South Africa in March 1990. Swapo’s victory was remarkable in the face of an overwhelmingly superior enemy. How this came about, and at what cost, is the subject of this outstanding study that is based on unpublished documents and extensive interviews with a large range of the key activists in the struggle.
The story that emerges is one of endurance and heroism in face of atrocious brutality ... |

 | | Re-Viewing Resistance in Namibian History brings together the work of experienced academics and a new wave of young Namibian historians - architects of the past - who are working on a range of public history and heritage projects, from late nineteenth century resistance to the use of songs, from the role of gender in SWAPO's camps to memorialisation, and from international solidarity to aspects of the history of Kavango and Caprivi. In a culturally and politically diverse democracy such as Namib... |

This book describes the diplomatic, economic and military campaigns of the Namibian and South African belligerents and draws a comparison with several other decolonization wars. Using data from parliamentary debates, the aftermath is examined of the Namibian war and the newly independent nation. The book provides a ... |

 | In the late 1950s Hans Beukes, a native of the then South West Africa, was a student at the University of Cape Town when he won a 'solidarity scholarship' tenable for three years at the University of Oslo in Norway. 'At your age, Mr Beukes,' his professor in Constitutional History told him, 'it ought to be an adventure.' And so it turned out.
As he was about to board an ore carrier bound for Oslo from Port Elizabeth, the South African government confiscated his passport. Back in Cape... |

 | | Mercenaries have been employed as auxiliaries since early times, but in the post-1945 world they have operated, almost exclusively, in weak Third World countries. From Columbia to the Congo, Angola to Papua New Guinea, Cambodia to Nicaragua, they have appeared: training the drug cartel armies, assisting rebellions or civil wars, acting as the agents of the major powers. In the Congo crisis (1960-1965) they earned an especially unsavory reputation for greed, brutality and racism; it is a reputati... |

 | | Luanda - Em 2006, há dez anos, pediram a Carlos Pacheco, historiador angolano, um artigo sobre Agostinho Neto (1922-1979), líder histórico do MPLA e primeiro presidente de Angola após a independência, para uma revista. Ele escreveu-o, umas vinte páginas. Mas o artigo não chegou a ser publicado. Então, em conversa, o seu editor (Assírio Bacelar, da Nova Vega, onde têm sido editados os seus livros) sugeriu-lhe que o transformasse em algo maior. O resultado, dez anos depois, é Agostinho Neto, O Pe... |

 | | A book that finally brings the history and exploits of the South African Air Force gloriously alive. With more than 875 photographs, most of which have never before been published, this is the most comprehensive book on South Africa's air power. The book gives fascinating and often spine chilling accounts of the SAAF through the Second World War, Korea, and closer to home, the operational area along the southern frontier of Angola. Many of the full scale operations of the time are covered in det... |

 | The appearance of ideologically motivated anti-communist insurgent groups in the Third World is an important new phenomenon that has received little serious attention. Analysis has focused on American attitudes, while the indigenous roots and motivations of such groups have remained largely unexplored. Michael Radu fills in the gap in "The New Insurgencies, "with case studies and contributions from Anthony Arnold, Paul Henze, Justus van de Kroef, and Jack Wheeler.
As the authors show,... |

 | | There have been many men and women throughout history who have contributed one way or the other in the battle against evil, injustice or terrorism. Portugal produced perhaps one of the finest self-trained guerrilla fighters the world has ever seen but due to expediency or politics his contribution in Portugal’s African wars has been all but forgotten. History is made by ordinary people performing extraordinary deeds, only a few ever get the recognition deserved for their contributions, countless... |

 | Introduction:
"The following position is limited and partial because a) we don’t have an overall line on the international situation and the nature of the USSR in particular, b) our limited resources and time prevent us from doing a thorough investigation of the situation and c) we were not an active participant in the polemics at the time of the war in Angola (1974-6). (Indeed, we did not characterize ourselves as an ML organisation at the time.)
Our reason for takings pub... |
