Description
Africa’s Super Power by Paul L. Moorcraft is a historical study of South Africa’s military, strategic position and regional influence during the final decades of the Cold War.
Written in the early 1980s, this extensively illustrated work examines South Africa’s defence policy, military capabilities and geopolitical role at a time of intense regional conflict and international sanctions. Moorcraft explores the strategic challenges facing the country, the role of the South African Defence Force (SADF), and the wider political and military landscape of Southern Africa during the apartheid era. As a period publication, the book reflects the political viewpoints and strategic thinking of its time, providing valuable insight into how South Africa’s security and foreign policy were perceived during a pivotal chapter in the country’s history.
Africa’s Super Power is a fascinating resource for readers interested in South African military history, Cold War politics, and the history of Southern Africa. It is particularly valuable as a historical document that illustrates the perspectives and debates of its era.
