A SELECTION OF SOME SIGNIFICANT AND CONTEMPORARY PUBLICATIONS ON THE MILITARY HISTORY OF SOUTHERN AFRICA

  • Thean Potgieter

Abstract

The military history of South Africa and the region receives scant
attention. Yet, a fascinating and multifaceted military past exists, a military history
full of drama, destruction, excitement and despair. This is also a military history
that tells the story of many different peoples and the struggles they waged; a history
of various different military traditions; of proud warriors fighting against the odds;
of changes and developments in the military sphere and of a long struggle for
freedom. It is from this military history that a few significant sources will be
selected for discussion in this paper.
