Magnificent And Beggar Land: Angola Since The Civil War

By Lilliana Brookover

The Angolan Civil War, beginning at the time of the country's independence from Portugal in 1975, was a 27-year struggle involving the deaths of over 500,000 soldiers and civilians. Initiated at the height of the Cold War, pro-and anti-communist forces in Angola set the stage for a proxy fight between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
Based on true events, this book gives an inside look at the world of arms dealers, world powers, and soldiers for hire trying to cope with an impossible reality and striving to succeed at any price.
