Evolutions & Revolutions
A Contemporary History of Militaries in Southern Africa
This book critically examines the context, role and function of militaries in southern Africa by providing a military history of the armed forces in the region since colonial independence. It overcomes the reluctance among African people, especially those engaged in sensitive military issues, to record their experiences. The chapter writers are African military practitioners, either retired or still in service.
