Editorial Reviews

Eight essays from the May 1993 Midgard Conference in Namibia record the academic debates among senior military men from both sides of the South African struggle for majority rule and from the neighboring countries of a region which will be dominated by a reformed South Africa.

They also analyze specific experiences in other parts of Africa as guides and models. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
