Summary:

The decolonization of Namibia was delayed from 1966 to 1989--the period of the war of independence--pitting the Namibian nationalists against the South African minority-ruled regime. This book describes the diplomatic, economic and military campaigns of the Namibian and South African belligerents and draws a comparison with several other decolonization wars. Using data from parliamentary debates, the aftermath of the Namibian war is examined in terms of the diplomatic, economic and military changes in the newly independent nation. The book focuses on providing a basis for further investigation
