A new examination of why Cuba, a Caribbean country, sent half a million of its citizens to fight in Angola in Africa, and how a short-term intervention escalated into a lengthy war of intervention. It clearly details how in January 1965 Cuba formed an alliance with the Angolan MPLA which evolved into the flagship of its global 'internationalist' mission, spawning the military intervention of November 1975 culminating in Cuba's spurious 'victory' at Cuito Cuanavale and Cuba's fifteen-year occupation of Angola. Drawing on interviews with leading protagonists, first-hand accounts and archive material from Cuba, Angola and South Africa, this new book dispels the myths of the Cuban intervention, revealing that Havana's decision to intervene was not so much an heroic gesture of solidarity, but rather a last-ditch gamble to avert disaster. By examining Cuba's role in the Angolan War in a global context, this book demonstrates how the interaction between the many players in Angola shaped and affected Cuba's intervention as it headed towards its controversial conclusion.

Beginning in 1975 an epic battle was waged for the future of southern Africa. The Angolan people had just thrown off 500 years of Portuguese colonial brutality. Now South Africa's white supremacist regime, spurred by Washington, had invaded Angola. Its goal: to impose a government beholden to Pretoria and imperialism. Angola's government appealed for help. The response of Cuba's leadership was immediate and decisive. A hard-fought war for freedom ended in 1988 at the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, with the crushing defeat of South Africa's army by Angolan, Cuban, and Namibian combatants. This is the story of Cuba's unparalleled contribution to the fight to free Africa from the scourge of apartheid. And how, in the doing, Cuba's socialist revolution also was strengthened. Harry Villegas is a brigadier general of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces. He is known the world over as "Pombo," the nom de guerre given him by Ernesto Che Guevara, at whose side he worked and fought in Cuba, the Congo, and Bolivia.

Hace 25 años, en marzo de 1988, combatientes cubanos, angolanos y namibios le propinaron una aplastante derrota al ejército sudafricano del apartheid en la batalla de Cuito Cuanavale en Angola. Esa victoria, proclamó Nelson Mandela, futuro presidente de Sudáfrica, marcó “un hito en la historia de la lucha por la liberación de África austral”. Con la victoria en Cuito Cuanavale se aseguró la soberanía de Angola. Se ganó la independencia de Namibia. La lucha revolucionaria en Sudáfrica recibió un gran impulso. Y la Revolución Cubana también se vio fortalecida. Entre 1975 y 1991 unos 425 mil cubanos prestaron servicio como voluntarios en Angola en respuesta a la solicitud del gobierno angolano de ayudar a defender ese país recién independizado de múltiples invasiones por el régimen supremacista blanco de Sudáfrica, apoyado por sus aliados en Washington y otros países. Aquí se relata esta historia en las palabras de los que la vivieron y la hicieron.

"En los nuevos e inesperados desafíos, siempre podremos evocar la epopeya de Angola con gratitud, porque sin Angola no seríamos tan fuertes como somos hoy" --RAÚL CASTRO, MAYO DE 1991. A partir de 1975 se llevó a cabo una batalla épica por el futuro del sur de África. El pueblo de Angola apenas se había librado de 500 años de brutalidad colonial portuguesa. Ahora el régimen supremacista blanco de Sudáfrica, atizado por Washington, había invadido Angola. Su meta: imponer un gobierno sometido a Pretoria y al imperialismo. El gobierno de Angola pidió ayuda. La respuesta de la dirección cubana fue inmediata y decisiva. Una dura guerra por la libertad culminó en 1988 con la batalla de Cuito Cuanavale y la aplastante derrota del ejército sudafricano por los combatientes angolanos, cubanos y namibios. Esta es la historia de la contribución inédita de Cuba a la lucha para liberar a África del azote del apartheid. Y de cómo, al hacerlo, se fortaleció la revolución socialista cubana. Harry Villegas es general de brigada de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Cuba. Es conocido mundialmente como "Pombo", el nombre de guerra que le dio Ernesto Che Guevara, a cuyo lado trabajó y combatió en Cuba, el Congo y Bolivia.

In March 1988, the army of South Africa's apartheid regime was dealt a crushing defeat by Cuban, Angolan, and Namibian combatants at the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola. That triumph, South Africa's future president Nelson Mandela proclaimed, marked "a milestone in the history of the struggle for southern African liberation." With the victory at Cuito Cuanavale, Angola's sovereignty was secured. Namibia's independence was won. The deepening revolutionary struggle in South Africa received a powerful boost. And the Cuban Revolution too was strengthened. Between 1975 and 1991 some 425,000 Cubans volunteered for duty in Angola in response to requests from the Angolan government to help defend the newly independent country against multiple invasions by South Africa's white-supremacist regime, backed by its allies in Washington and elsewhere. Here this history is told by those who lived it and made it. "...a strong addition to international history and studies collections."--Midwest Book Review "...scholars and general readers of twentieth-century African, Afro-Latino, and African American history will find this title a compelling and informative addition to an understudied chapter of the Cold War and its impact on Africa."--The Journal of African History "...an excellent read for both the academic and layperson."--African Studies Quarterly Includes photos, map, and glossary.

Why did more than 300,000 Cubans -- of all ages and professions, men and women, black and white -- volunteer to help defend Angola from repeated South African invasions? Was the presence of these Cuban forces in Angola an obstacle to Nambia's independence and peace in the region? Were they a threat to U.S. security as Washington often claimed? With contributions from Columbian writer Gabriel Garica Marquez, as well as Fidel Castro, Jorge Risquet, and Raul Casto, this book helps to provide a background to the events in southern Africa. It includes details of the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, in which South Africa was decisively defeated and which Fidal Castro has described as a turning point in the history of Africa. -- taken from back cover

History is being made in U.S.-Cuban relations. Now in paperback and updated to tell the real story behind the stunning December 17, 2014, announcement by President Obama and President Castro of their move to restore full diplomatic relations, this powerful book is essential to understanding ongoing efforts toward normalization in a new era of engagement. Challenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual conflict and aggression between the United States and Cuba since 1959, Back Channel to Cuba chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward rapprochement and reconciliation. William M. LeoGrande and Peter Kornbluh here present a remarkably new and relevant account, describing how, despite the intense political clamor surrounding efforts to improve relations with Havana, negotiations have been conducted by every presidential administration since Eisenhower's through secret, back-channel diplomacy. From John F. Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Fidel Castro after the missile crisis, to Henry Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Barack Obama's promise of a new approach, LeoGrande and Kornbluh uncovered hundreds of formerly secret U.S. documents and conducted interviews with dozens of negotiators, intermediaries, and policy makers, including Fidel Castro and Jimmy Carter. They reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, that provides the historical foundation for the dramatic breakthrough in U.S.-Cuba ties.
