This Omnibus E-Book brings together Piero Gleijeses's two landmark books, which provide a comprehensive account of the intricate dynamics that unfolded in southern Africa during the final years of the Cold War. The first book, "Visions of Freedom: Havana, Washington, Pretoria, and the Struggle for Southern Africa, 1976-1991," delves into the pivotal events that shaped the region's political landscape. The second book, "Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, and Africa, 1959-1976," offers a sweeping history of Cuban policy in Africa during this turbulent period.
Gleijeses's meticulous research, drawing from archival sources in the United States, South Africa, and the closed Cuban archives, offers an unprecedented international perspective on this important theater of the late Cold War. The author challenges the conventional notion that Cuban policy in Africa was solely directed by the Soviet Union, providing a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between the superpowers and the various African nations.
In "Visions of Freedom," Gleijeses explores the dramatic twists and turns in the relations between the superpowers during the final fifteen years of the Cold War. The book delves into the struggle over the future of Angola, where tens of thousands of Cuban soldiers were stationed, and the decolonization of Namibia, Africa's last colony. It also examines the pivotal role played by the great prize: South Africa.
The second book, "Conflicting Missions," offers a sweeping history of Cuban policy in Africa from 1959 to 1976, based on extensive research in African, Cuban, and American archives. Gleijeses sets his narrative within the broader context of U.S. policy toward both Africa and Cuba during the Cold War, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between the superpowers and the African nations.
Together, these two landmark books offer a comprehensive and authoritative account of the pivotal role played by Cuba, the United States, and the Soviet Union in shaping the political landscape of southern Africa during the final years of the Cold War. Gleijeses's meticulous research and international perspective provide a fresh and illuminating understanding of this critical period in history.
