Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique

Al J. Venter

4.9/5 (23589 ratings)

Description:Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique — one of the most beautiful countries in the world — for over a decade. The small European nation was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators — every single communist country on the planet and almost all of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end.Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTIONCHAPTER ONE – Mozambique : Yesterday and TodayCHAPTER TWO – Lisbon’s Five Century Maritime LegacyCHAPTER THREE – The Early Colonial Period in Portuguese East AfricaCHAPTER FOUR – Germany's Invasion During the Great WarCHAPTER FIVE – The Late Colonial PeriodCHAPTER SIX – A Broader Assessment of Africa’s Colonial WarsCHAPTER SEVEN – Tete Convoy in Mozambique’s WarCHAPTER EIGHT – Mozambique’s Military ContradictionsCHAPTER NINE – How Others Viewed This Portuguese ConflictCHAPTER TEN – The Legend of a Guerrilla FighterCHAPTER ELEVEN - The Role of African Troops in Lisbon’s WarsCHAPTER TWELVE – The Portuguese Air Force in MozambiqueCHAPTER THIRTEEN – Old Timer of Portugal’s Air WarsCHAPTER FOURTEEN – Zambezi – Fulcrum of Guerrilla OperationsCHAPTER FIFTEEN – Rhodesian Involvement in the WarCHAPTER SIXTEEN – EnemiesCHAPTER SEVENTEEN –The Landmine WarCHAPTER EIGHTEEN – War WoundedCHAPTER NINETEEN – Why Portugal Lost its African PossessionsCHAPTER TWENTY – Portugal’s Forces Leave AfricaBIBLIOGRAPHYGLOSSARYINDEXWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
