Description
Of all the books about South Africa’s 21-year ‘Border War’ – fought on both sides of Angola’s frontier with present-day Namibia – South Africa’s Border War has always been rated as among the best. A significant, full-colour volume, it originally sold 31,000 copies in South Africa alone and has been out of print for decades. This version is the first re-issue of the original, written by Willem Steenkamp. Almost all the photos were taken by Al J. Venter who covered that conflict intermittently for almost two decades.The book is exceptionally well illustrated, with hundreds of colour as well as black-and-white photos; truly a valuable addition to recent African military history.
