5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for perspective, some flaws in the facts, February 21, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Changing the History of Africa (Paperback)

This book contains a selection of essays from various role-players in the Angolan/South African conflict, including the famous
essay by Nobel Prize-winner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Operation Carlota", and a few of "Fidel Castro's" speeches.

While a
lot of this is propaganda, it at least gives an impression of the war from the Cuban and Angolan perspective.

This book needs
to be read in conjunction with one of the books written from the South African perpective, such as the one by Fred Bridgland
"The War for Africa" and others, and you need to draw your own conclusions.

The human suffering that this war generated, is still a legacy
of the Southern African Continent, with the issue of the remaining landmines bringing this issue to the attention of the media once again, particularly with the visit of Lady Diana just recently.

For anyone who wishes to gain a balanced view of the progress of the war, as well as some of it's roots, this book is one of the
key elements to garnering that information.
