The Angolan people had just thrown off 500 years of Portuguese colonial brutality. Now South Africa s white supremacist regime, spurred by Washington, had invaded Angola. Its goal: to impose a government beholden to Pretoria and imperialism. Angola s government appealed for help. The response of Cuba s leadership was immediate and decisive. A hard-fought war for freedom ended in 1988 at the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, with the crushing defeat of South Africa s army by Angolan, Cuban, and Namibian combatants. This is the story of Cuba s unparalleled contribution to the fight to free Africa from the scourge of apartheid. And how, in the doing, Cuba s socialist revolution also was strengthened."--Back cover. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x History $y 1975- 650 0 $a Cold War $x Political aspects $z Africa, Southern. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x Politics and government $y 1975-1994. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x Foreign relations $y 1975-1994. 651 0 $a Africa, Southern $x Autonomy and independence movements. $x Autonomy and independence movements. 651 0 $a Angola $x Participation, Cuban. $y Civil War, 1975-2002 $x Participation, Cuban. 651 0 $a Angola $x Military relations $z Cuba. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Military relations $z Angola. 700 1 $a KoÂppel, Martin, $d 1979- $e editor. 700 1 $a Waters, Mary-Alice, $d 1942- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFF98964EA0A11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
