The Last Hot Battle of the Cold War: South Africa… par Peter Polack
A disappointing book. The writing was very choppy and unclear. I'm not very sure about the final outcome of the battle.
While containing a great deal of interesting background material, this book really doesn't put the battle of Cuito Cuanavale into any great context, either in terms of the South African campaign to keep its African adversaries at bay or the wider ebb and flow of proxy warfare between Moscow and Washington. While the author seems to have had good intentions, one can only recommend this book if nothing better is available.
