Borderstrike! South Africa into Angola
In May 1978 South African airmen and soldiers burst over the northern border of South West Africa/Namibia. They attacked three widely separated locations inside the neighbouring country of Angola, destroying a number of bases and killing hundreds of insurgents belonging to the South West African People’s Organisation (Swapo).
In May 1978 South African airmen and soldiers burst over the northern border of South West Africa/Namibia. They attacked three widely separated locations inside the neighbouring country of Angola, destroying a number of bases and killing hundreds of insurgents belonging to the South West African People’s Organisation (Swapo).
These attacks, part of an operation code-named Reindeer, inaugurated a new South African government policy of launching attacks into neighbouring territories which harboured insurgents planning to infiltrate South Africa or South West Africa/Namibia.
The purpose of Borderstrike is to give a reasonably accurate account of at least some of these operations, written by a journalist who has himself done part of his military service in the operational area.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
