Traces the performance and experiences of the MPLA and Cuban forces at war with South Africans and the third Angolan insurgent group - UNITA. As of 1975, the decades long insurgency in Angola appeared to be short of its conclusion. However, with no less than three major insurgent movements fighting for supremacy, the war went on and then South Africa, USA, the Soviet Union, Zaire and Cuba became involved. Based on extensive research with help of Angolan and Cuban sources, the War of Intervention in Angola provides a unique insight precisely into the topic. The volume is illustrated with over 100 rare photographs, 10 maps and 12 colour profiles. AUTHORS: Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian.
