Hi
I’m trying to find specific books about the Cuban involvement in Africa, and I hope you guys don’t mind me asking for the names of some titles.
I’m particularly interested in titles that may contain details of missions and firefights of those who bravely fought against the communist backed forces in Africa, but specifically the stories of those who fought against the Cuban forces. As well, I’m interested in any book that may mention corruption, crimes and atrocities that could have been committed by the Cubans troops while there, especially books that may describe specific guerrilla tactics or regular battles against the Cubans.
All I know about the Cuban intervention in Africa only from the communist propaganda of the Cuban dictatorship. I want to try to learn the truth about the Cuban campaign, because according to Castro every battle was won by the Cubans, including cuito canavales that for what I read in a short internet article, the facts may contradict Castro's version. As well I want to try to understand the feelings and experiences of those who fought against them, because I have a lot of admiration and respect for those people that stood up and fought against those forces trying to impose a communist totalitarian regime with the backing of Russia, China and Cuba.
These are some book I just bought over the net, with the hope that I may find some information about the battle against the Cubans.
Jonas Savimbi: A key to Africa by Fred Bridgland
32 Battalion: The inside story of South Africa’s elite fighting unit by Piet Nortje
At Thy Call – We Did Not Falter by Clive Holt
WAR DOG: Fighting Other People's Wars - The Modern Mercenary in Combat by Al Venter
Another thing I wanted to mention is that I'm trying to stay away from books that may have been written by a lefty sympathizer and apologist of the Castro regime. I have been reading some articles on the net and a lot of time you get the same romantic terminologies like "internationalist" when referring to the cuban troops in Africa, the same propaganda that have been put out there by the Cuban regime.
Thanks a lot, and I hope you guys can help me out with the name of some more tittles.
