Angola: The War
A faraway war... A clash of ideologies... And some of the biggest battles fought on African soil since World War Two.
Overview
For twenty-three years, five western nations, members of the Soviet bloc and two superpowers were locked into a war never formally declared. It all began in 1966. Once the Draft started, every able-bodied white South African male was called up for service.
