A
fascinating chronicle of the Cold War battle where US and Soviet
weapons, as well as Cuban and South African troops, took part in the
Angolan Civil War.

In the late 1980s, as America
prepared to claim its victory in the Cold War over the Soviet Union, a
bloody war still raged in Southern Africa, where proxy forces from both
sides vied for control of Angola. The socialist Angolan government,
stocked with Soviet weapons, had only to wipe out the resistance group
UNITA, secretly supplied by the United States, in order to claim
sovereignty. But as Angolan forces gained the upper hand, apartheid-era
South Africa stepped in to protect its own interests. The white army
crossing the border prompted the Angolans to call on their own foreign
reinforcements—the army of Communist Cuba.

Thus began the epic
Battle of Cuito Cuanavale: an odd match-up of South African Boers
against Castro’s armed forces. While South Africa was subject to an arms
boycott since 1977, the Cuban and Angolan troops had the latest Soviet
weapons. But UNITA had its secret US supply line, and the South Africans
knew how to fight. As a case study of ferocious fighting between East
and West, The Last Hot Battle of the Cold War unveils a remarkable episode in the endgame of the Cold War—one that is largely unknown to the American public.
