THE FLECHAS: INSURGENT HUNTING IN EASTERN ANGOLA, 1965-1974

by John P. Cann

In 1961, Portugal found itself fighting a war to retain its colonial possessions. It was almost completely unprepared to do so, and this was particularly evident in its inability to project power and to control the vast colonial spaces in Africa. Following the uprisings of March of 1961 in the north of Angola, Portugal poured troops into the colony, however there were only very small numbers of elite forces available and this led to development of specialized, units. The most remarkable such force was the Flechas, indigenous Bushmen in eastern Angola who could live and fight in its difficult terrain. They were active until the end of the war in 1974, and were so successful in their methods that the template was copied in the theaters of Guiné and Mozambique, and later in the South African Border War.

STUKAS OVER THE STEPPE

by Peter C. Smith 

The Blitzkrieg in the East, 1941-1945. The Ju 87 Stuka dominated the opening campaigns of World War II. It was a primary weapon of German Blitzkrieg tactics and the concept of lightning warfare. Together with the panzer, it transformed air and land warfare, with countries falling in days and weeks, rather than after campaigns lasting years. With more than 100 photographs and detailed commentary, Stukas over the Steppe captures the many roles adopted by these famous dive-bombers as they blasted a path across Eastern Europe.
