Description: This volume examines the history of Angola since independence in 1975, and in particular the fact that the country has known only one year of peace in that time. The contributions come from a conference held in Cambridge to discuss the issues involved.

Review Quotes: ... this volume provides relevant and valuable historical, political, military, economic and social analyses of the state of Angola and its place in the world in the late 20th century, and a good sense of the recent waste of its potential - which may now begin to be realised.-- "AFRICA ANALYSIS"
