Summary:
"Al Venter's book on South Africa's 23-year Border War along the Angolan frontier offers a host of new perspectives. These include details about units like the South African Air Force 44 Squadron which converted Dakota aircraft into flying gun platforms similar to those used in America's war in South-East Asia. He also has American nuclear specialist David Albright, one of the leading authorities on nuclear proliferation, take a long hard look at Pretoria's atom bomb program"-- Provided by publisher.
