The Border War saw the biggest armoured battles in Africa since
World War II. Starting as a counter-insurgency operation by the
South African Defence Force (SADF) against the South West Africa
People's Organisation, South Africa became embroiled in the complex
Angolan Civil War, where they came up against enemies well supplied
with equipment and armoured vehicles from the Soviet Union. With
the aid of stunning illustrations and photographs, this study
details the characteristics, capabilities and performance of the
wide variety of armoured vehicles deployed by the SADF, from the
Eland armoured car to the Ratel infantry combat vehicle and the
Olifant tank. Designed for the unique conditions of the region,
South Africa's armour was distinctive and innovative, and has
influenced the design of counterinsurgency armoured vehicles around
the world. Frequently requested by Osprey readers, and written by
two renowned experts on armoured vehicles, this will appeal to all
those interested in modern armour and the Cold War proxy wars.
