'An illuminating, well researched and accessible account of the forces at work and the factors determining policies at particular times' -- Raymond Suttner, Professor, University of South Africa, Pretoria, author of The ANC underground, former ANC and SACP leader and one time political prisoner 'The Soviet Union's support for Southern African nationalism against Western imperialism is a crucial case study. There is no better author [on this subject] than Vladimir Shubin' -- Patrick Bond, author of Looting Africa, and professor at University of KwaZulu-Natal 'Vladimir Shubin has unrivalled knowledge of the Soviet role in Africa in the decades of the Cold War. His personal yet scholarly account will be required reading for anyone interested in the fascinating story of the liberation of southern Africa' -- Chris Saunders, University of Cape Town
