Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New oral histories from Black Namibian and Angolan troops who fought in apartheid South Africa’s security forces reveal their involvement, and its impact on their lives, to be far more complicated than most historical scholarship has acknowledged. In anticolonial struggles across the African continent, tens of thousands of African soldiers served in the militaries of colonial and settler states. In southern Africa, they often made up the bulk of these militaries and, in some contexts, far outnumbered those who fought in the liberation movements’ armed wings. Despite these soldiers' significant impact on the region’s military and political history, this dimension of southern Africa’s anticolonial struggles has been almost entirely ignored in previous scholarship. Black troops from Namibia and Angola spearheaded apartheid South Africa’s military intervention in their countries’ respective anticolonial war and postindependence civil war. Drawing from oral history interviews and archival sources, Lennart Bolliger challenges the common framing of these wars as struggles of national liberation fought by and for Africans against White colonial and settler-state armies. Focusing on three case studies of predominantly Black units commanded by White officers, Bolliger investigates how and why these soldiers participated in South Africa’s security forces and considers the legacies of that involvement. In tackling these questions, he rejects the common tendency to categorize the soldiers as “collaborators” and “traitors” and reveals the un-national facets of anticolonial struggles. Finally, the book’s unique analysis of apartheid military culture shows how South Africa’s military units were far from monolithic and instead developed distinctive institutional practices, mythologies, and concepts of militarized masculinity.

Book excerpt: Soldiers in a Storm: The Armed Forces in South Africa's Democratic Transition is a study of the role of the military in the creation and development of South Africa's new post-apartheid system. Philip Frankel asserts that the armed forces played a far greater role in the end of apartheid than is currently acknowledged in the literature, and that the relatively peaceful negotiations that ended apartheid would not have been possible without the participation of the South African National Defense Force and two major liberation armies.Frankel also examines the topics of military disengagement, civilianization, post-authoritarian political behavior on the part of militaries, and the process of democratic consolidation. He also discusses how many of these themes have been explored in the context of Latin America, and he points out that this is the only book that places these themes within the context of South Africa. This is an important case study with universal implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since emerging from the mire of its apartheid past, South Africa has become a key player in Sub-Saharan Africa. The challenge of creating a truly national military, during a period in which South Africa has also wrestled with tough internal socio-economic problems, has left the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in a weakened state. Despite this, they have in recent years made a considerable contribution to efforts to bring peace and stability to the African continent. A critical step in building a capable and confident future South African Army has been the commencement of the SA Army's Vision 2020 forward planning process. Recent political changes in both the United States and South Africa have opened up a new window of opportunity for developing a productive partnership between the two nations. This monograph outlines ways in which the United States can contribute to the SA Army's Vision 2020 program to help optimize South Africa's potential contribution to the emergence of a peaceful and stable Africa."--Page v.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this booklet is to document the military occupation of Namibia, and at the same time to discuss the ways in which the territory is used as a springboard for attacks against neighbouring countries. The military build-up in the 1970s is described in detail and special attention is given to the "namibianization" of the war through "tribal armies" and conscription. It demonstrates how military operations overshadow the daily life of Namibians, and how the South African military and police are in the forefront of the state apparatus of control. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).

Book excerpt: Is war a gender issue? Although focused on the South African perspective, there is a wider, more universal, and surprising link between war and gender identities. This book demonstrates and explores, through the actual experiences and understandings of a range of South Africans during one of the most volatile periods in the country's history, how men and women have different access to power and resources, and how those differences are mobilized for war.

Book excerpt: In South Africa at War, the first carefully documented survey and analysis of the policies and actions of the government of South Africa under P.W. Botha, Richard Leonard shows that the enduring effect of the attempt to preserve apartheid has been to increase the militarization of the country. He traces the travail of the African National Congress and shows that black resistance to apartheid has gone from peaceful protest to militant confrontation. He documents South African military and financial involvement in the conflicts in Namibia, Angola, and Zimbabwe and evaluates the societal stresses induced by the need to maintain and expand the armed forces. There is a searching presentation of the "propaganda war" undertaken by the government in an effort to influence attitudes toward South Africa and an analysis of the "total strategy" that guides the Botha government in the coordination and implementation of its policies.

Download or read book The Battle of Bangui written by Warren Thompson and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2013, South Africa suffered its worst military defeat since the end of apartheid. After a battle that lasted almost two days, 200 crack troops who engaged 7 000 rebels in the Central African Republic were forced to negotiate a ceasefire at their base. Thirteen South African soldiers died in the battle, with two more later succumbing to their wounds. The mission was shrouded in mystery from the start. The deployment and the diplomatic machinations that led to it were kept secret from the South African public and Parliament. So, too, were an assortment of shadowy commercial interests held by businessmen, some with close ties to the African National Congress. In an investigation spanning more than seven years, the authors gained exclusive access to the soldiers who fought valiantly against overwhelming odds; travelled to Bangui to obtain documentation and meet the rebel leaders who took part in the battle; interviewed a deposed dictator living in exile in Paris; and spoke to the widows of the fallen soldiers. They also met influen¬tial fixers and dealmakers, and unearthed secret files containing bribe agreements to unravel an intricate web of corruption and patronage reaching the highest echelons of power in South Africa and the CAR. After close to a decade of speculation and rumour, The Battle of Bangui lays bare for the first time both the litany of strategic, tactical and logistical blunders that ended in military disaster, and the secret diplomatic and commercial deals that led to South Africa’s worst foreign misad¬venture of the democratic era. It’s also a cracking war story filled with heroism, camaraderie, terror, pathos and triumph over adversity.

Book excerpt: A series of nine essays detailing political life in the "old" and "new" South Africa. "The Lie of Apartheid" shows how the author switched from being a supporter of that policy to realizing that it was an immoral and unenforceable ideology which guaranteed the downfall of whites in Africa. "The Myth of Mahatma Gandhi" shows that this liberal icon was a racist who intensely disliked black people and who supported segregation and white rule in Africa. "The Puzzle of Autogenocide" answers the question of why white South Africa voted in favor of black majority rule after centuries of white rule. "How the Mighty Fall" is a short survey of how the once mighty South African army has collapsed under the new regime. "When the River Ran Red" is the dramatic story of the 1838 battle of Blood River, and of how the victors ended up betraying their own victory by failing to understand that demographics is the key to the rise and fall of civilizations. "When the West Looked Away" details the horrific anti-white ethnic cleansing practiced by Zimbabwe-which was ignored by the West because the victims were white. "Interviewed by the Flemish" is a hitherto unpublished interview with the author dealing with a number of South African related topics and some pointed questions about his other books. "Conspiracies and the Assassination of Chris Hani" reveals the full story behind the 1993 murder of Nelson Mandela's heir apparent, Chris Hani, including the real role of the apartheid-state's National Intelligence Service in the debacle. "The Death of Johannesburg" is a photographic essay, first published online, detailing the decline of the largest city in South Africa under Third World rule.

Book excerpt: "For too long Africa has been the dark continent in the history of American foreign relations. Recent debate over the importance of human rights, however, has focused attention on that continent. Thomas Noer's study of U.S. policy toward the regimes of South Africa, Rhodesia, and Angola is among the first to explore the African angle in American diplomacy. It is also the first work to analyze the influence of the American civil rights and black power movements on foreign relations. Based on extensive research in recently declassified materials, Cold War and Black Liberation documents the intense debates and diplomatic dilemmas arising in 1948 with the triumph of South Africa's Nationalist party and its ensuing policy of apartheid. In the context of the emerging civil rights movement in the United States, Noer then details America's response to the international problem of white rule on a black continent, concluding his study with an epilogue that carries the narrative into the 1980s. Noer's study also illustrates the basic conflict in American diplomacy between traditional commitments to majority rule and human rights and more immediate (and often prevailing) strategic, economic , and political interests. The emotional issues of race, human rights, and anticommunism make policy decisions complex and controversial, as American blacks, black Africans, European allies, and the white minority governments all lobbied to influence U.S. policy." --
