Beskrivning

Angola has been embroiled in war almost continuously since its independence in 1975. Yet despite countless casualties, including some two million displaced people, Western media have paid scant attention to this most devastating of internal conflicts.Victoria Brittain has witnessed the horror and destruction in Angola for longer than almost any other western journalist. In Death of Dignity she uniquely combines a narrative of the war based on historical political analysis with firsthand accounts of many decisive events, and portraits of leading personalities. The author examines the origin and course of the conflict and demonstrates how Africa’s most heroic revolution was deliberately derailed and destroyed by United States foreign policy. Death of Dignity unveils an important and much neglected history, and one that is vital to a thorough understanding of postcolonial Africa.

Recensioner i media

'Few journalists know Angola better than Victoria Brittain. This is an excellent and timely account of a conflict for which we in the West share much of the blame'
