Following the publication of Al Venter’s successful Portugal’s
Guerrilla Wars in Africa - shortlisted by the New York Military Affairs
Symposium’s 'Arthur Goodzeit Book Award for 2013' - his Battle for
Angola delves still further into the troubled history of this former
Portuguese African colony. This is a completely fresh work running to
almost 600 pages including 32 pages of color photos, with the main
thrust on events before and after the civil war that followed Lisbon’s
over-hasty departure back to the metrópole. There are also several
sections that detail the role of South African mercenaries in defeating
the rebel leader Dr Jonas Savimbi (considered by some as the most

There are many chapters that deal with Pretoria’s reaction to the
deteriorating political and military situation in Angola, the role of
the Soviets and mercenaries in the political transition, as well as the
civil war that followed. With the assistance of several notable military
authorities he elaborates in considerable detail on South Africa’s
23-year Border War, from the first guerrilla incursions to the last. In
this regard he received solid help from the former the head of 4
Reconnaissance Regiment, Colonel Douw Steyn, who details several
cross-border Recce strikes, including the sinking by frogmen of two
Soviet ships and a Cuban freighter in an Angolan deepwater port.
Throughout, the author was helped by a variety of notable authorities,
including the French historian Dr René Pélissier and the American
academic and former naval aviator Dr John (Jack) Cann. With their
assistance, he covers several ancillary uprisings and invasions,
including the Herero revolt of the early 20th century; the equally
troubled Ovambo insurrection, as well as the invasion of Angola by the
Imperial German Army in the First World War. Former deputy head of the
South African Army Major General Roland de Vries…
