From Cunene to Cabo Delgado by Louis Lubbe (Signed)

From Cunene to Cabo Delgado by Louis Lubbe is an extensively illustrated photographic history documenting nearly three decades of conflict across Southern Africa, encompassing the wars fought in South West Africa, Angola, Rhodesia and Mozambique. Written and compiled by a man with first-hand experience of the region, the book provides an important visual record of the conflicts that shaped Southern Africa during the latter half of the twentieth century.

Louis Lubbe served in South West Africa and Rhodesia during the Bush War as a member of the South African Police Counter Insurgency Unit, giving his compilation a particularly relevant historical perspective. Rather than presenting the period solely through conventional military narrative, From Cunene to Cabo Delgado uses an extraordinary collection of historical photographs to record soldiers, policemen, insurgents, civilians, equipment, operations and the landscapes in which these conflicts unfolded.

From Cunene to Cabo Delgado covers the Portuguese colonial wars in Angola and Mozambique, the Rhodesian Bush War and the South African Border War, placing these interconnected conflicts within their broader Southern African setting. Hundreds of photographs provide a striking visual account of the realities experienced by those involved, making the volume especially appealing to researchers, veterans, military historians and collectors.

An excellent addition to a collection devoted to the South African Border War, Rhodesian military history, Angola, Mozambique, the SADF, South African Police or Southern African conflict photography.
