Angolan War of Liberation (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Pen & Sword Books Ltd, South Yorkshire, 2018
ISBN 10: 1526728419 ISBN 13: 9781526728418
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When a large group of rebels invaded Angola from a recently independent Congo in 1961, it heralded the opening shots in another African war of independence. Between 1961 and 1974, Portugal faced the extremely ambitious task of conducting three simultaneous counterinsurgency campaigns to preserve its hegemony of Angola, Portuguese Guinea and Mozambique. While other European states were falling over themselves in granting independence to their African possessions, Portugal chose to stay and fight despite the odds against success. That it did so successfully for thirteen years in a distant multi-fronted war remains a remarkable achievement, particularly for a nation of such modest resources. For example, in Angola the Portuguese had a tiny air force of possibly a dozen transport planes, a squadron or two of F-86s and perhaps twenty helicopters: and that in a remote African country twice the size of Texas. Portugal proved that such a war can be won. In Angola victory was complete. However, the political leadership proved weak and irresolute, and this encouraged communist elements within the military to stage a coup in April 1974 and lead a capitulation to the insurgent movements, squandering the hard-won military and social gains and abandoning Portugal's African citizens to generations of civil war and destitution. AUTHOR: Al J. Venter is a specialist military writer who has had over fifty books published. He started his career with International Defence Review, covering military developments in the Middle East and Africa. He has been writing on insurgencies across the globe for half a century, involved with Jane's Information Group for more than thirty years. He was a stringer for the BBC, NBC News, as well as London's Daily Express and Sunday Express. He branched into television work in the early 1980s, producing more than a hundred documentaries, including Africa's Killing Fields, on the Ugandan civil war, and AIDS: The African Connection, which was nominated for a Pink Magnolia Award. His last major book, Portugal's Guerrilla Wars in Africa, was nominated for New York's Arthur Goodzeit military history book award. Venter writes extensively for several Pen & Sword military history series including 'Cold War 1945-1991' and 'A History of Terror'. 20 colour and 60 b/w illustrations The story of how an ailing colonial power comprehensively defeated a communist-inspired insurgency.
