Namibia’s Liberation Struggle: The Two-edged Sword

It took 23 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 How this came about, and at what cost,is the subject of this study which is based on unpublished documents and extensive interviews with a large range of the key activists in the struggle. The study should be of interest to everyone concerned with southern Africa.
