Borderstrike!: South Africa into Angola

Willem Steenkamp
Published by Butterworth & Co Publishers Ltd, 1983
ISBN 10: 0409100625 / ISBN 13: 9780409100624
When first published in 1983, it sold out almost immediately. A reconstruction of the early external operations of the South West African/Namibian border war between 1978 and 1980, it remains a standard reference work to this day. This was a significant publishing event because it showed how the nature of the border war had changed irrevocably, from the occasional ad-hoc hot pursuit of SWAPO insurgents into a full-blown semi-conventional conflict. It heralded the shape of things to come, which was to culminate in the fierce later battles of 1988/89, when South Africans and UNITA slugged it out toe-to-toe with the Soviet-supported and led forces of the Angolan government (Cuban & Russian).
