Modern African Wars vol. 2: Angola and Mozambique, 1961-74 (Men-at-arms No 202) Book

ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY AS AN E-BOOK. Portugal was both the first and the last of the great European colonial powers. For 500 years Portugal had colonies in Africa. In 1960, as liberation movements swept across colonial Africa, the Portuguese flag still flew over vast expanses of territory across the continent. The spread of decolonization and the establishment of independent states whose governments were sympathetic to the cause of African nationalism led, in the early 1960s, to a series of wars in Angola, Guiné and Mozambique. This book details each of these liberation movements, focusing on the equipment, uniforms and organization of the Portuguese forces.Read More

  • Product Description

    Portugal was the first and last of the great European colonial powers. In 1960 the Portuguese flag still flew over vast expanses of African territory, and continued to fly there while others were busy granting independence to their African colonies. It was not until 1975 that it was finally forced down. The educated mestiços and assimilados were well aware of what was happening in other territories. They were encouraged by the fact that the Portuguese territories had begun to find themselves surrounded by newly independent states whose governments were sympathetic to the cause of African nationalism. It seemed that their time had come.
